>
> Period: from 00.00 UTC of 12th May 2007 to 24.00 UTC of 13th May 2007
>
>
>
> Bands: 50 Mhz and up, only via Moon reflection
>
>
> Modes: those modes in which message decoding is charged to a computer, 
> whilst validation and qso management are effected by the human operator.
>
> If during the contest no information has been received or exchanged, 
> specifically regarding frequency and/or calls, the qso is considered 
> "random", otherwise "assisted" (for that qso and subsequent ones). "Self 
> spotting" is considered assistance.
>
> During a qso all information must be obtained only via EME.

> Categories for bands 144 and 432 MHz:
>
> Stations are subdivided by power and type of antenna employed. For yagis 
> the total lenght, in wavelenghts, is considered (distance reflector-last 
> director multiplied by the number of yagis in the array), for parabolic 
> reflectors the dish diameter is considered.
>
> At 144MHz 1 wl = 2,08 meters = 82" = 6' 10"
>
> At 432 MHz 1 wl = 0.694 meters = 27".340
>
>
>
> Band 144 MHz (Cat. A, B, C, D, E, F)
>
> Note: Stations with cross yagis or circular polarization are classified 
> separately. For cross yagis counts the sum of the lenght of the longest 
> ones, either H or V.
