The weather-forecasters had forecast a rainy Saturday. This was bad news, indeed, because for May the First our program showed antenna measurements in Meppel, for my 23 cm antennas, as part of future contacts with Dwingeloo by way of the moon, followed by a visit to CAMRAS where the handing over of new PR material was to take place. At the end of which Team Hermelink had organised a geo-chaching Event. Moreover we expected a great number of EME enthousiasts from home and abroad. Yours faithfully, Wim de Vries – PaoME and Timo Lampe – PE1FOD, carpooled north. Between Huis ter Heide and Meppel we hit on barrelsful of rain, which kept on and on and on, consequently not promising much that was good for the day.

Two good  moon weekends running in April – Some luxury! Both on Sunday 18 April and Saturday 24 April the EME crew made good use of the disk. Lots of Earth-Moon-Earth contacts were made in all kinds of modulation methods. We even sent a radio message in ABK (Standard Educated Klingon). Jan van Muijlwijk wrote an extensive report with pictures by Micha Sanders (PC4M) and Simon Bijlsma (PA7SB).
