I am very pleased to congratulate HL4GHT for the first 6m EME contact from South 
Korea!  I completed with Kim today on his moonrise during his first ground gain lobe 
between 5 and 8 degrees elevation.  His JT65A signal peaked at -23 dB here.  Kim's 6m 
station is a 4CX1000A amp (currently only running 500w) and a 10 element YU7EF yagi 
on the horizon.  He also has a fully steerable array of four 4 element yagis to use 
when the moon is above his second ground gain lobe.

MM0AMW also copied him very well (-24 dB), as did W1JJ (-21 dB)on Kim's lower ground 
gain lobe. His second lobe seemed to be up around 18-20 degrees elevation.  After his 
moon was above 20 degrees, Kim QSY'ed to 2m and I was fortunate enough to get him 
there for another new country ;-)

HL4GHT was my 6m DXCC #127 (DXCC #77 via EME on 6m).  Best wishes for DX and VY 73, 
Lance
