[Alex IW0GPN]

Hi to all,
    sry for delay due to qrl ....
On last 20th "Miss AU" has knocked at my door too, here at 25 km North of
Rome in JN62fb.
Last time that AU was worked here on 2m was on 13th July 1991 by IK0SMG with
an EME ant system.
My condx is only 16 el. I0JXX ly and 80 Watt.

Last thursday the 20th I was working on my PC when I rx a phone call by
Sergio IK0FTA announcing me AU tones on 6m ...
immediately I've gone on my shack and I find the magical "puff" tones also
on 2m too...really hard work to do to be heard from any station.
I was really enthusiastic, "like a pig in the mud" like Mau YXK says, when
DF2ZC answer to my call .. I made my first qso on 2m AU ... also the 1st qso
down here in Rome after 12 years. Really really happy ..tnx guys to all.
My qsl card are all on the way via the bureau...
