28.2 2010 - The first QSO OE - DL on 122 GHz

Hello OM's

On last Saturday 28th February (during BBT contest) me DL/OE5VRL/P and Wolfgang OE3WOG/P made  the first contact between OE and DL on 122 GHz. The distance was 22,3km from JN68RI91GV to JN68OI35BD. The signal strength was very fine, about 37dB above noise level (power was 50uW and used antennas 70cm + 47cm dish). On OE's side was Richard OE3WRA and on DL side Alois DC6GS with Konrad DL8SAJ. If anybody heard about earlier contact from OE to DL on 122 gigs, please tell us. BTW If anyone is interested, I put two movies at YouTube:
