Subj: 1999 ARRL EME Contest
Date: 6/24/99 1:17:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time

To All EME Stations:
The choices for the 1999 ARRL International EME Contest are:
1. October 2/3 and 30/31
OR
2. October 30/31 November 27/28
Last year the dates recommended by the EME community were chosen to not
conflict with the IARU Region 1 VHF Contest in Europe. Despite the best
effort to accommodate terrestrial contest, there were still criticism from
mid to northern Europe that the second leg of the EME contest was to late
into the winter with the result that the weather was and can be very poor.
This year the situation is not quite the same, but has some similarities.
1. October 2/3 and 30/31 will provide the better expected weather for the
Northern latitudes in Europe and the North east of North America. However, the
432 MHz & up IARU Region 1 UHF Contest is on Oct 2/3
2. October 30/31 and November 27/28 is free of any other contest dates but
the weather has the probability of being not good during the second weekend.
To give the some specific feed back to allow the ARRL to make a final decision
on the major EME International Contest of the year, would you please advise
me of your choice at:
VE7BQH
NO reasons are require, ONLY your choice, please. If you have contact with
EME stations who do not have E Mail, please include their choice in your E
Mail reply.
Please have your input into me by no later than June 30. I will publish the
input on MOON-NET and forward the results to Joel, W5ZN.
73,
Lionel, VE7BQH
