[SECC] Announcement: 2009 RAEM Contest this Saturday

[John T. Laney III]

Dear Friend,

Year 2009 end is fast approaching meaning that the most memorable event 
for all true CW Operators is coming: “Ernst Krenkel Memorial” – 
International Contest RAEM . The uniqueness of the contest is in 
non-trivial number exchange that requires operators to show their true 
CW skills.

We invite you to participate in this exciting event. If you love CW 
please come on the air and support the contest. Even if you can’t spend 
all of the 8 hours please consider making a part time effort - that will 
be greatly appreciated by all contest participants. Taking a part in the 
contest will be one more opportunity to pay tribute to the famous polar 
explorer/radio operator Ernst Krenkel. The Contest Committee is looking 
forward to receiving your log, that will help with more accurate scoring 
and decision on the contest winners.


The contest will take place from 02:00 till 09:59 UTC on the 27th of 
December 2009. The Contest Rules are available on SRR web site at
