Sounds good to me Peter, let's try to even though the sun is pretty close.
I have just applied for an extension of my permit
to operate with high power on 13cm and things are
looking promising as far as I can tell. So from
next month I should be able to return to 13cm for
some EME again after >6 months without a high power license.
