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!)
