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

Тема: Re: [CQ-Contest] RAEM-Contest e-mail-address problems
Given the very nice scoring system, I tried to work this contest, but with
very little success. Conditions were absolutely lousy in Northern
California during the contest period, and many of the active Russian
stations were alligators -- that is, they transmitted far more than they
received. I was running 1.5 kW into decent antennas, but many repeats were
needed with stations that were very comfortable copy here. Makes one
wonder how much power they were running. :) Russia (and EU) is all over
the pole for me; UA0 is a lot better from here, and all but two of the
Russian stations I worked were UA0. Conditions were so bad that I didn't
get past #11 in the log, even returning to the shack several times through
the contest period. I finally gave up around 07Z. I did manage to work
the RAEM station though.
73, Jim K9YC

kind of hard to support the contest.
