[CQ-Contest] CWSS and daylight savings time

[Jim Neiger]

I understand that K5TR has been selected by K3LR to be Professor of Time 
Keeping, Emeritus, at next year's Dayton Contest University.  George, I'll 
be happy to provide my Mickey Mouse Clock as a laboratory prop.  I can hear 
Geo. now, "If the big hand is on 12, it's time to start the 
contest.............."

We seriously need some sunspots.

you guys will get it right this November)
