Hi Zdenek,

It was great to work you on 9cm on Sunday, and I am very glad you stayed around after the contest finished so we could catch the conditions at the best moment. You peaked up very nicely and would have been Q5 on SSB I am sure. 

Thanks for the nice pictures of your set up. My 9cm station details are at:

and the 9cm antenna feed is on the right hand side of the horn in this pic (with the radome cover off):

You were very loud on 23cm near the end of the contest (signals were coming up all the time over the last hour). It must be nice to have the EME system available for QRO contests!  I hope to replace my old 23cm tube PA (4 x 2C39) with a homebrew solid state PA in the next few months.

Thanks again for the QSO, I will send QSLs via the bureau for yourself and OK1ES/P and OK1DTC/P.
