Al, K2UYH has made some changes to the EME SSB Funtest:

There are some major changes to its time from the announcement in the Dec NL -- 


FUNTEST: The 13 cm Funtest starts on 26 Jan (Friday Z) at 1800 and ends on the 27 Jan (Saturday Z) at 1800. The 1296 SSB Funtest starts on 27 Jan (Saturday Z) at 1900 and ends on 28 Jan (Sunday Z) at 1900. These events are intended to be fun. You do not need to transmit on SSB to participate. CW to SSB and vice versa exchanges are encouraged and count for points. (Only one QSO between stations is allowed, i.e., you cannot work a station SSB to SSB and SSB to CW for extra points). Scoring is contact points x number of two letter Grid Sectors (IO, JM, FN, EM ...) worked. SSB to SSB contacts count as 2 points. SSB to CW (or CW to SSB) count as 1 point. The exchange is your Sector (IO, JM, etc.). Only the 2 sector letters need to be sent and copied by EME. The exchange of signal reports and/or 4 character grids is optional and not required. Operation may be by single or multiple operators from one location. No distinction for scoring will be made. Since this is a “Funtest” not a true contest, no restrictions will be made on the use of the Internet. It should be thought of more like an Activity Weekend than a contest. Logs should be sent to the 432 and Up EME NL by email to alkatz at tcnj.edu ASAP after the end of the contests. (All logs for contest awards should have been received within the month following the contest). The top scoring station on each band will receive an attractively framed certificate that will be presented at the next International EME Conference (Holland 2018).
