On 17th of April 2010 at 8.54 pm local time our EME dreams came true. We made SSB EME contact with the KP4AO station being active at that time in the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico - the biggest radiotelescope on Earth.

The QSO of SP3YDE with KP4AO starts after 3 minutes and 40 seconds of this movie. The movie shows the KP4AO operators live on USTREAM during their EME DX Expedition on 17th of April 2010.
