Actually, I have no comment whatsoever on the WPX length. It is the only 
major contest I have never entered in my entire contesting career. Never.

Two reasons, equally weighted:

1. The weather is usually good enough to do outside things by then, after a 
too-long winter (but not as long as those poor KL7 boyz).
2. Prefixes as multipliers? What's the point? What am I missing here? Why 
not suffixes instead? Last two? Duh.

73, and see you all in Dayton,

p.s. K7SS...no offense taken. Watch yourself in WRTC-2000, though...
