I became interested in EME in 1975 attending a lecture from Jan PA0SSB

In the years after I was active with tropo on many microwave bands

I managed to get a 3 mtr Andrew dish

My microwave experience combined with the EME interest combined to my first EME activity on 3 cm
starting with my first EME QSO with Tay W6HD on 15 september 2001

After the first 24 GHz worldwide EME contacts I became interested in 24 GHz EME but did not have enough power to get things going.
After a few years I decided to give it a  try with my 10 Watt TWT which proved to be succesfull.
