Greetings to all,
The dates for the 1999 ARRL International EME Competition will be
October 30/31 and November 27/28.
As always, the ARRL sought as much input as possible concerning this
years dates. Discussions were conducted on the 20 meter EME nets as well
as the Moon-Net reflector. Several concerns were expressed regarding
weather during the November weekend and contest conflicts during the
October weekends. All of these concerns were taken seriously into
consideration, however no real consensus was achieved as to the most
preferred dates. Lionel, VE7BQH, assisted by conducting a survey of EME
operators on all bands inquring which dates you wanted. The results of
that survey have previously been reported, and as one can clearly see,
no date was a clear preference. This left us with the difficulty of
selecting a set of weekends that would not be attractive to a large
group, regardless of which weekends were selected.
If these dates were not your choice, please understand the situation and
I want everyone to know that we will again look at the dates in the same
manner for the year 2000 in an effort to select the best possible
weekend combination to permit maximum participation in the competition.
I want to thank all of you for your support of EME activity, and
especially thank Lionel and Joe, K1RQG, for their help in disseminating
information leading up to this decision. I also want to thank Lionel for
conducting the survey and presenting the results to everyone.
Regards & 73,
Joel W5ZN

Hi Joe:
I was on 70 cm today. I made it on late, around 1400 because of
problems with the voltage to my preamp. It was fine when I checking
things out on Monday, but not working this morning. I think I finally
have this problem, which has been a recurring scenario, fixed
permanently. The break was not where I thought it was. Activity was
light, especially from NA, but I still made 2 initials with AL7OB - FB
signal and JA6AHB - dish well into the trees! I 'will not be on
tomorrow as we are leaving for a week's vacation.
I will be in touch when I get back.
