Many thanks to all who made QSO's with me on 23cm EME in 2005, there was plenty of activity to keep things interesting for most of the year, and especially during the ARRL EME Contest.
During the year we saw a number of new stations appear... welcome to all of you, and of course thanks for the initials, and I hope that active station count continues to increase during 2006.
Merry Christmas and
a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year to all my friends.
