On 25 November 2007 at 0230Z W8UJX worked the ultimate                         DX.  An EME  QSO with DK3T in Verl, Germany.  This guy was running 5000 watts output  to a stacked yagi array that                       contained 96 elements.  WOW!!!  After 53 years in Ham Radio I finally made contact with another Ham by using the moon                       as a passive reflector. Yea!!!
