[Moon] Assisted, 2007 ARRL International EME Competition

[Lars Pettersson]

Hi Mike
Your questions are understandable.
My comment in this topic are a simple answer.
WE did not have this problem before the upcoming of Digital modes as JT65, 
So we could thank the author of the software for all this problems.
// SM4IVE   not participate in ARRL EME contest.
