[Moon] [Moon-net] ARRL EME Contest

[Adrian Arghiropol - Home]

Hi Darell,

I think you've made the point, so let's assume I'm also getting older -
that's the truth folks - and English is not my first language so I will do
ask for "special" help in order to understand the rules to complete my log
entry for this contest.

So, how should I manage the multiplier contractidion if I'll submit my log
to the Mixed Mode ?

Any help will be highly appreciated.
