OJ0B, Market Reef EME Expedition

The Market Reef, OJ0, Grid JP90NH, is just a barren rock on the open sea between Finland and Sweden.
OJ0B expedition dedicated to the late Lenna, OH1NL and Bill, W6DNG and the magic QSO – 50 years ago. Lenna proved the skeptics wrong as he made a 2M EME QSO from Finland to California with Bill, W6DNG on 12 April 1964. This went down in VHF history as one of the major achievements of the 1960s in the field of Amateur Radio.

Not a new for me DXCC territory on 2M band. I worked several times with difoj0bferent expeditions via Tropo on 144 and 432 Mhz, but never EME before!
Full description of OJ0B expedition is here.
So, it was just wonderful to get new EME initial from a very rare place. I completed EME QSO with OJ0B on 10th of June.
