[CQ-Contest] RAEM-Contest e-mail-address problems

[Igor Sokolov]

Jim,
Your impressions of RAEM coincide  to the last detail with my impressions of 
ARRL from here.
The fact that most of the RAEM participants are beaming East or West, where 
the majority of the participation is,  precludes  copying of relatively weak 
signals coming from over the pole. Have there been more participation from 
NA the contest would have been much more fun for you there.


HNY and   73,
Igor UA9CDC
