[RTTY] No RTTY Contests in June - Replacement for ANARTS Contest?

[Vilnis Vosekalns]

  Hello ,

First option for June date and 3 periods looks more
friendly for me. Brilliant ideas - SARTG three periods , ANARTS points 
table and
6 hours category.
For September we have already some RTTY events , one is very big.
