Jim, 11 "must operate"??!? A quick look at the calendar says among
Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec for 2003 there are only 17 weekends total!  

Now THAT'S a commitment to contest operating.

I do much the same, for the ones I must operate...my wife and I both
have calendars in the kitchen that we notate for each other and I write
CONTEST as needed, which trumps any other possibilities including
family engagements (I am in a long time multi-ham family - they all
understand, thank goodness, and I was doing this before we got married,
so Mary knew what she was getting herself into...)
