Maybe someone can help me on strategy for this contest. The start time is
midnight local time in California. When would the VK/ZL sunset peak occur?
(hopefully during the contest!) My sunrise is around 6AM. Any
recommendations
as to whether my sunrise would be better or not than the VK/ZL sunset (or
maybe both are equally likely to have good condx). Does it make any sense
to operate between these peak times (like at 3AM local time)? I am assuming
that after 7 AM local time, the contest is basically over for me.
I am planning to put up 550 ft beverages pointing straight east (270
degrees) and
SSE (210 degrees). Are these likely to cover it pretty well, or do I need
additional ones for skew path/long path?
Are massive pileups likely on P29?
