Yesterday Eric, ON5TA had a first QSO with JA on the 3cm Band EME. 
Congratulations....

The QSOs needed quite a lot of preparation work, because japanese hams are only allowed to transmit on 10.450 MHz, not on 10.368 MHZ.
So a new receiving system had to be build here in order to be able to make "crossband" contacts.

We also needed a common window and the best possible moon conditions. These conditions were met yesterday, but wind could have been a problem.
The japanese hams used big 5 to 6m dishes, very sharp on 3 cm, which make aiming to the moon very difficult with the slightest wind.
As you know, we had wind here yesterday evening, but it was manageable during the QSOs

This why JA4BLC is talking about "a miracle" in his mail. HI !

A little piece of the mail of JA6CZD
Hi Eric,
Yes, QSO by ON5TA-JA6CZD is the first ever between ON-JA on 3cm EME, GREAT!
Me too very much pleased to work you. You are MY #3 on 3cm EME and good signal as well as G4KGC I worked 30minutes before.
It was miracle no wind happened during our QSO.
