My apologies;  JQ1NGT/JD1 is not from Minami-torishima but OGASAWARA isl. 

   According to the "Five Nine" DX magazine by JA1ELY that I rcved today; 
"JQ1NGT/JD1 will QRV from Chichijama, Ogasawara from 8 to 18 February". 
   When I heard him on 30/40/80M, I thought he is from Ogasawara, so I did
not call him.  But when I asked a local friend about JA2XW's address, who 
said "JQ1NGT/JD1 is from Minami-torishima".    It was WRONG info ! 
   I worked him/JD1 on 10106 at 08:00z today and his QTH is certainly, hi. 

   As I said before, JG8NQJ/JD1 Minami-torishima will be until 23 April.

   Despite of the contest, V5/W8UVZ was looking for JA with FB signal on 
1824kHz around 21:20z and many other JAs could get him as their new-ones.
