[Moon] 2007 ARRL EME Contest Rules

[TexasRF at aol.com]

Jimmy, don't you EVER agree with anyone? CW is as old as it gets in EME  
work, there is no older mode in existence.
 
If you mean that CW is not obsolete, then by all means you are  correct about 
that and we all hope to continue using it for many years to  come.
 
But, considering other modes now in use, it IS old (as   been in use a long 
time) style EME today.

Hi  Hakan

CW in my view is certainly NOT old style EME.
Because it is  the mode that provides to any interested operator the  
TOOLS of  better RF knowledge, reception of valuable technical help  
from the  community that uses it, and advancement of skills.

These result in a  station that hears, and can be heard, better.

So if someone is looking  for the TOOLS leading to constant improvement  
of his station RF path  and own operating abilities, this is definetely  
a mode one should  have in his EME agenda.
As it is all time classic and will never become  obsolete for those  
interested parties who consider the matters of  constantly  - hearing  
better and be heard - as highly  important.
