[50mhz] [Magic Band EME] Re: PE1ITR qrv 6m eme 10/11 may

[Lance Collister, W7GJ]

CONGRATULATIONS Rob and Joe!   WOW - when the first EME contact of a single yagi 
station is with another single yagi station and both stations are horizon-only, it 
really shows what is possible now on 6m EME with patience and proper planning!   Best 
wishes to you for much more DX!   Rob, I hope to work you when I am in KH8 in July!

Rob,  I hope you can put up your 6m beam again to take advantage of the best days of 
the month for 6m EME:
