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

MessageGreetings everyone,
Not really LF, but QRSS...
A group of radio amateurs from AMSAT-DL has successfully transmitted
a (very short) message in QRSS, consisting of the two letters "HI"
(im memoriam of old OSCARS) to Venus on 2.4 GHz, and received the
reflection.
Each TX/RX over lasted for about 5 minutes (the travelling time). The
transmitter was a 5 kW magnetron disciplined to a narrow-band
transmitter. Details on the AMSAT-DL website. The German HR TV will
send a documentation tonight at 19:30 (local). The EVE
(Earth-Venus-Earth) details follow tomorrow on Hessischer Rundfunk.
73,
