I hope the reflector is a place where everybody can say his word without
being afraid. I would burn myself into exhilaration to celebrate the first
2-way QSO, but the fact that it took so long prevents me from that. After a
big hesitation I must admit that I agree with John.
It doesn't mean that this QSO had no meaning. No doubt it is another step
forward. Congrats to both operators.
