Nice! A number of us who have assembled stations to work IO-117 have now worked DL7APV on 70cm EME. Other workable superstations may be on this weekend.  In my case, the QSO was portable with a 15 el Yagi, pre-amp, and 50w at the antenna. A couple of ops found they could hear Bernd, but not be heard. That was fixed when they adjusted their polarization angle off of horizontal to account for spatial offset and Faraday rotation. See the Twitter thread and Q65 documentation for more on that.  GL and 73, Ray KN2K

Just found this on Twitter. So if you want to see if your LEO setup is capable of working or hearing 70cms EME, this could be the chance. The time presumably will be whenever the moon is above the horizon in Germany and at your QTH. Software would be WSJT-x or similar

Bernd DL7APV asked me to QSP to the #AMSAT community that he will QRV this coming Thu, Sat, Sun and listen especially for #satellite setups. Use your chance to make your first ever #EME QSO - biggest challenge in #AmateurRadio

A quick look at the antennas at http://www.dl7apv.de/%C2%A0 shows an array of 128 x 11 element yagis. 73 David  G0MRF
