Thanks to the RU6LWZ expedition for the QSO Saturday night/Sunday morning between about 0000 and 0100z - I imagine this must be the first UK - Russia contact. My QTH is located at IO91VR, a distance of about 2800km to KN97LN. I also watched earlier QSOs with OH5UFO and IK5ZPV. Conditions were not as good as the previous week - I think RU6LA was about 10dB down, but still audible at times. There was frequent QSB, so while the first 2 overs from RU6LA were "O" copy, the final over was only M - T, although signals picked up again later. Other signals on the band also seemed to be down on usual. I hope Ed and the group will be QRV again soon - If conditions are as good again as they were the first time, I'm sure many 2 way QSOs will be possible. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU
