Wolf,

congrats to all involved.
I remember that long ago (in the 1980's) there was an 'april fools' =20
article in the april number of CQ-DL where EME was declared an old hat =20
and the first EVE (earth-venus-earth) QSO's were claimed.
After 25 years reality takes over ...

73, Rik  ON7YD
