The actual goal of moving an hour earlier is to reduce the West "advantage". In the last few years, 20m has only been open in the Eastern USA for a short time after the start. This reduces it to a tw

Why not in the future have an experiment and have the Sprint be 160-80-40 meters?I agree starting an hour earlier will give more advantage to the west coast.JeffSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy s

RayLook back at past results for the February CW Sprint. Just about every year at least 7 of the top 10 stations in the High Power category are either on the west coast, Texas, NM or Colorado. For th

When are we going to do something comparable for ARRL and CQ DX contests? Like changing the scoring rules that provide 50 more easy to work mults to east coast stations than to west coast stations? O

I thought the rules were ultimately approved by the ARRL board, based on the recommendations of the Contest Advisory Committee? Both of which have members from all over the country... But, OK, Ill as

I don't really play in the Sprint (I do plenty of its cousin NAQP sooo), but I'm not sure why this change is needed. If a contest tends to favor one coast over another, so what? Two of the two of the

Always good to try new ideas in this hobby - let's see how a 2300 start works and we can all weigh in to the contest sponsors if we liked the change or not. Funny how "moving the cheese" tends to cau

Western stations are usually going to dominate in wintertime North American domestic contests because of the skip zone on the high bands ("high band" often includes 40m in the winter). But eastern or

What's all this talk about "propagation" and "skip zone?" That's just science, and science is 'way overrated. The geniuses who change contest time periods will maybe neutralize the "sun" so it won't
