Thanks Mike for the comments.....
I am an experienced VHF operator (what's in the call, hi) and has been QRV
with both meteorscatter and EME,
so I know that procedures, which looks very much like the ones on LF....

I will seriously think about working 'split' etc.
Meanwhile I have to do so work in order to be albo to work DFCW as well

I will keep you all informed.

73
