Talking about April Contests, Let me advertise one of the very best
contests in April:
That the Michigan QSO Party, 1600Z April 20 to 0400Z April 21!
Rules at http://www.miqp.org
Occasionally our contest meets on the Saturday before Easter, but so
far, we've lived with the "conflict."
We willbe joined this year by Ontario, North Dakota, South Dakota, and
Nebraska
For details of these see:
Ontario: http://www.va3cco.com/oqp/index.htm
North Dakota: http://k0ln.com/ndqsop13.pdf
or http://www.dtdxcc.org/main2/ND_QSO_Party.html
(Didn't read close enough to see if theabove two are identical)
South Dakota: http://www.dtdxcc.org/main2/SD_QSO_Party.html
Nebraska: http://www.qcwa.org/chapter025.htm
(Yes a bunche of Olde Fogeys actually are running a QSO Party!)
(And I'm a confessing "olde Fogey" so "it takes one to see one")
Why not mark your calendars NOW and partake of all of these
simultaneously! We in Michigan would really appreciate your contacts.
I'll be operating as K6JSS/IONI in the lightly represented county of
IONIa, in one of my "typical" QRP-expeditions to a rare county.
Note: Perhaps, if these five become "regulars" on the third weekend of
April, someone will develop a contest logger designed with these four in
mind?

There is not an Easter weekend. Easter moves around.
Here is a list of dates over 500 years
http://www.census.gov/srd/www/genhol/easter500freq.html
Easter can happen as early as mar 22 and as late as apr 25 I think this is the
reason there are so few contests in April. As Easter is more frequently on a
Sunday in April
