[G. Horvath]

Congratulations Pierre and Jacques for bettering the record VE7DDR and
myself set.
Please e-mail VE3SMA from the records page to update:

Our best DX is 9.6km so far, I have a 20km path in mind that we can try
after the rains stop (next summer sometime). 
73,
Gabor, VE7DXG

Hi Pierre,

Congrats to both!

I hope VE2BP and VE2JWH are list members and that 
we can get some additional details....

I'd like some details such as how strong the 
signals were, what type of receivers and transmitters were used.

I noticed the QSO took 5 hours. In the future, 
you might suggest to them that they spread the 
beams out to speed up the aiming process (which 
is WHY I advocate using the most sensitive 
receiver possible-don't scrimp on the receiver). 
Spreading the beams out allows one to use much 
simpler hardware for aiming because it can have 
lots of backlash and slop..and still get the job done.

Regards,

Art
