EME contact could be a world record

Andy Kissack, GD0TEP reports on a 4-metre EME contact which, he says, could prove to be a world record.

Andy says:
"This morning at 01:35 ZS6WAB and myself completed the world's first 4m EME contact on JT65a.

"Willem and myself tried EME on 4m on Friday night, but my station suffered problems with the masthead relay on the receive side and we didn't complete.

"This morning, Willem and I started at 00:38 and I didn't receive a thing until almost an hour later. With my moon at SIX degrees, Willem's signal was decoded with me and we quickly completed.

"I will create a page on my web site with screen shots on Sunday.

"I think this is a world first for 4m. (unless some else knows better?)"
