Hi Alan,
I found the following listing in a 1982 "Foreign Listings Callbook": (I knew I saved this for a reason...)
JA8TCH Mori Seigi, 81-75 Taihei, Shinoro, Kitaku, Sapporo, Hkd 001
Now, that was from 30 years ago... presuming the call hasn't been re-issued, maybe a starting place?
Good luck, and congrats to Seigi-san!

Hi,
I am looking for information, particularly an email address, for JA8TCH. He(?) was one of the last to receive telemetry from ARISSat-1. Unfortunately there is no listing in English sources such as QRZ.COM, though I got several hits from Japanese language sites, including an Echolink node.
