I knew from my previous experience working with Tuomas, OH6MIK from Kyrgyzstan as EX6EME that he had very low noise location, good ears and good power. But I didn't expect to log him down into my 6m list of initials from home QTH.

Now I have a stack of nice quality cards from a local printer in Almaty depicting views of the place where we stayed while in Kyrgyzstan.

John has terrific ground gain and is running a single 7 element Yagi (6M7JHV) and 1.5 kW output power. Again I had to cut through the terrible background noise and I did it (thanks to Flex 3000 SDR).   EME - 50 MHz EME Sat, 30 Oct 2010 00:39:11 +0100 http://un8gc.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=31 I was totally blown away by our 6m EME QSO with Clayton Curtiss, W7CE on my Moonrise tonight. I was running 6M-1000 SS 1kW power amplifier, Flex Radio 3000 with external RX preamplifier (23 dB gain, 1 dB NF) and a 10 element Yagi by YU7EF. EME - 50 MHz EME Sat, 30 Oct 2010 00:16:08 +0100
