Here is yet another vote in favour of moving the WPX CW weekend to April.
To answer KG5U's question, no, Canada does not celebrate "Memorial Day." What
is it that you folks in the US are remembering?
As for the potential conflict with Easter, well, they don't move the WPX SSB
contest to accomodate Easter (they coincide this year), and that contest hasn't
disappeared. I see no reason to make a pre-emptive adjustment for the WPX CW
even if CQ agrees to move it.
To return to the subject at hand, we all know conditions are usually poor in
late May. Re-scheduling at a month earlier improves our chances of having
better conditions, and better conditions means more fun for everyone.
