Hi all,

after a long absence I was able to try my 2m stuff (1x9 ele + 350W) on the 
moon again. On Friday (6 June) evening I had some technical problems, but I 
could overcome them and I worked RK3FG (-17 dB) in JT65B random easily. Other 
stations copied in the "doodle" mode were: K6MYC, DH7FB/P, S52LM, WA4NJP and 
EA3BB.

I decided to give 6m a try (receive only) and I could copy W7GJ (best -21 dB) 
in JT65A - speaker copy. I have a 1WL antenna for 6m.

On Saturday morning (7 June) I easily worked LA8YB #61 (O/O) in CW. I listened 
to the QSO SM7WSJ, who was strong via tropo of course, but with spectran his 
echo was definitely well visible too. 1 Yagi to 1 Yagi ?!?!
SP7DCS was audiable too. I called Chris several times but only could raise him 
to return a QRZ?.

Unfortunately I developed some health problems, which caused me to stop all 
activities and which took me to hospital for a few days, from where I just 
returned two hours ago.
