Greetings 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,
 Wolf DL4YHF
 (from the IUZ in Bochum)
