[Moon] 2007 ARRL EME Contest Rules

[jimmyv at hol.gr]

Gerald

thank you for your note.

By old i never referred to the age of cw. As i fully agree with you on  
its long respected history.
I explicitly meant and stated CW EME is NOT old style eme; in that it  
is all time classic and will NOT become obsolete as it provides  
operators with Tools that are of great value, as i took the time to  
describe.

73,
