At the very least, how about an aritcle for the NCJ?

"An XYL's insights on contesting" or something along those lines.

For those of you trying to plan your strategy for CQWW Phone, get a hold of
some logs from 1984 CQWW Phone.  That contest was the last CQWW Phone that the
solar flux was as low as it is now.  1984 was a pretty horrible year - the
first half of the year had many days with the flux in the 125-180 range.  By
CQWW Phone, the flux was down to 69.

Leave some space for me on 20 !

Yup, Gulp, I take gravy with my crow guys!  ;-)
Excuse: was using a low-res (small B&W zone map.) Sure... <HI>
Thanks for not roasting me too badly!  :-)

My turn to ask a Q: Does anyone know the (exact) 10-MHz "PacketCluster" 
freq.?

Anyone have a rock I can hide under? ;-)
