Hello guys,
i guess that the only mode to maintain eme, as we like, where the operator 
is the main part
of the station, we need to cooperate on events,like the "activity night" and 
improve the number of active stations.
I'm sure that is not disappearing from the eme scene, that we could change 
some bad mode to make eme, where it seems that is not possible do anything, 
without internet or clusters.
I'm really appreciating the Chris,Hakan,Jimmy and Peter effort, on promoting 
cw eme, each month. with the "activity night".
Last weekend, particularily on 1st window, in some moment it was like 10 
years ago, with lot of stations on the band.

Many thanks to these friends and to the other, that are a bit disappeared, 
please back on.
We have some more reason to continue our eme life.

73' Francesco,IK2DDR

p.s. if some newcomer wants to try cw eme with my small/mid station, i'm 
very happy to setup some sked
