Optiver added an HF array to its existing microwave tower at Cosmo Classic Club West. JB2XI’s Japanese licence lists Johor Bahru, Indiana and London; BR IFIC supplies the Johor receive coordinate. Tokyo access runs through GTT’s Mother Farm East route.

One lattice tower, one ten-element log-periodic. GTT and NuVo have separate microwave equipment on this tower. The HF array belongs to GTT/Optiver.

In February 2026, Ryota published the supplied damage photograph and said JB2XI had been broken for a while. The picture is undated. We have no dated repair observation; the August overview reuses the January 2025 tower photograph.

ITU: 1.71889, 103.67250 ↗

Johor Bahru first appeared in BR IFIC on 21 January 2025 and remains its only receiver coordinate for this transmitter.

The MIC licence response saved on 11 September 2026 names receiving equipment near Johor Bahru, Indiana and London, with 5 kW power. Ryota’s June 2025 licence copy names Johor alone at 2 kW, and his August 2026 comparison still lists Johor. The amendment date is unknown.

Optiver’s U.S. affiliate County Information Services has its HF site at Wanatah, Indiana. The Japanese licence gives no exact Indiana or London receive location.

Tokyo access and Maruyama

Open the network map →

Shin-Toyosu Cube ↔ No. 5 Inoue Building ↔ Mother Farm East ↔ Cosmo West ↔ Maruyama CLS

The HF tower sits on GTT’s existing Tokyo–Maruyama microwave route. The short Cube–Inoue segment uses E-band; the longer legs run via Mother Farm East.

NuVo/DRW also passes through Cosmo West, using its own equipment and a different route north: Mother Farm West and Kyowa Bussan Ariake. Ryota corrected the older GTT/NuVo assignments in November 2024.
