Thanks!
I do listen in the reflector from time to time, but unfortunately my Russian is rather poor. I am trying to learn it in my own time and the reflector is great help. I was in Moscow a few days ago, I tried a few of the local gateways but probably I was too far from them to make contact. Only one FM repeater made it to the area where I was (Arbat/Smolenskaya) on 435.500 but I couldn't find split and CTCSS details.
I conclude with some sad news: Jim N1JMM, one of the people who greatly contributed to make the G4KLX D-STAR software what it is today and who was always keen to help in the spirit of our hobby, passed away unexpectedly a few days after that QSO.
I'll be again in the Domodedovo area on 6th Jan and will try my luck again on D-STAR.
