OTOH, as long as WW CW is on the weekend after Thanksgiving, I will
*never* be able to be on hand for the beginning of the contest...
(because I work Fridays until 2230 CT - 0330 Saturday UTC - and
Thanksgiving is the one holiday *everyone* wants off.)
Not sure I feel strongly about Scott's proposal one way or the other.
Y'know, it would be interesting to rotate all contests through the
year. Each year, every contest would be a week earlier - WW CW the
weekend *before* Thanksgiving, then *two* weekends before, then three,
etc., etc... After 52 years they'd all get back to where they are now &
we'd start the cycle again...
(Ah, Field Day in Wisconsin in January? Sounds like fun!)
