Subj: [Moon-Net] 2002 ARRL EME Contest
Date: 1/31/02 7:55:58 PM Eastern Standard Time

To ALL EME Stations:
I am getting some replys with preferences for the 2002 ARRL EME Contest.
However, I am not getting near large enough response. My only objective is
to relay the wishes of the EME group to the ARRL so they can make an
informed decision.
We hear all of the discussion on electronic voting, here is a case where it
is firmly in place! Use it!
The 14 specific answers I have received so far hardly constitute
significant sample. I have received in the order 75+ other years.
I look for you specific feedback
Vote! Or will we have a great windy debate on Moon-Net and blame the ARRL
for the final dates chosen??
The practical choices are:
Sept 28/29
Oct 26/27
Nov 23/24
Choose any 2 weekends you wish
Again I am looking for response from ALL EME stations on ALL bands.

Subj: [Moon-Net] 2002 ARRL International EME Contest

From: [email protected] (Lionel H. Edwards)
To: [email protected]

To ALL EME Stations:
It is time for us to make our annual recommendations to the ARRL for the
2002 ARRL International EME Contest.
As is usual, picking the "optimum" dates is not straightforward.
The best compromise dates look to be Oct 26/27 and Nov 23/24
Ian, G3SEK, Steve, K1FO and I have had some preliminary discussions
and now look for YOUR input.
Please consider The first weekend in October and November is the European
Terrestrial Contest. Regardless, October 5/6 is new moon. Nov 2/3 is good
but has negative declination. Previous year's discussions on this subject
has always ended with the firm conclusion there are major problems when
both of these contests are held on the same weekend particularly in central
Europe.
Other possible weekends are October 19/20, November 16/17, November 31/Dec
1 but all have low declinations.
All stations please send me your recommendations no later than Feb 28, 2002
I will publish the results by MOON-NET as well as relay the results to
Joel, W5ZN at the ARRL.
