> Period: from 00.00 UTC of 8 September 2007 to 24.00 UTC of 9 September 
> 2007
>
>
>
> Bands: 50 Mhz and up, only via Moon reflection

>
> Modes:  CW, SSB .

> Categories for bands 144 and 432 MHz:
>
> Stations are subdivided by power and type of antenna employed. For yagis 
> the total lenght, in wavelenghts, is considered (distance reflector-last 
> director multiplied by the number of yagis in the array), for parabolic 
> reflectors the dish diameter is considered.
>
> At 144MHz 1 wl = 2,08 meters = 82" = 6' 10"
>
> At 432 MHz 1 wl = 0.694 meters = 27".340
>
>
>
> Band 144 MHz (Cat. A, B, C, D, E, F)
>
> Note: Stations with cross yagis or circular polarization are classified 
> separately. For cross yagis counts the lenght of the longest.
