Hi Jesse, I follow you via mastodon.hams.social. We had some discussion on that at the DVRA. Very interesting indeed

Be aware that DSES here in Colorado is planning another trial later this year, EVE.

That is great news Dave (WØLEV)! Thanks for sharing.

First Venus Bounce was from NASA at JPL, way back in 1961. EVE by AMSAT-DL was in 2009 from the 20m Radio telescope at the Bochum Observatory. Recent EVE was on 22nd March 2025 when the Dwingeloo telescope was used successfully to bounce a radio signal off the surface of Venus. I had posted a small note on these here: https://youtu.be/eb_S0bfUNJY

Hope you will be sharing more details soon Dave. When is the Sun - Venus - Earth conjunction due?
