It's been a few years since this topic has been breached, but with the start of
the new sunspot cycle, a fresh beginning, I fell it's time to open the
discussion again.
Isn't now a perfect time to return to 30 hours for the WPX events? Some
newcomers may not remember, but the CQ WPX contests were, at one time, a 30 out
of 48 hour contest.
It was unique, fun, and the added off-time strategy made it even more fun. Not
that it is no fun now, but going back to 30 hours would make it even more fun.
And dare I say, make it more competitive....ESPECIALLY for the west coast. As
K5ZD once said the secret to winning the WPX is: (paraphrasing)
A) Run Europe
B) Run Lots of Europe
C) See above
Hard to do from W6.
How about a change for the better?
