A few weeks ago Expedition 5 commander Valeri Korzun has visited the Mount Athos monastery where he met Father Apollo (SV2ASP/A).
The two Amateur Radio operators used to have daily QSOs on 2m and digital photograph exchanges.
Thanks to Veronica IK3ZAW the following article was translated directly from Father Apollo's original description of this special event.

After my studies, I followed the path of the complete dedication to Christ and became a monk in 1973. I am member of the administrative council of my monastery (‘The Assembly of the Elders' ), and I am ranked third after the Abbot. My competences include hydraulics, electrics, heavy machinery operations and other general duties related to the maintenance of the monastery.
