The question unasked on the recent CQ WW survey was:
(my words) "Would you object if the SSB and CW weekends swapped each year in an
effort to avoid having the CQ WW CW contest on a major United States of America
holiday weekend 6 out of every 7 years as is now the case?"
Because it is really, really hard to be either cannon fodder for the Europeans
from stateside or traveling to a DX location when the social pressure of
Thanksgiving weekend is breathing down your neck ...
