[CQ-Contest] WPX SSB and Earth Hour

[David Levine]

I hadn't hear about this until Randy's post and your follow-up. I checked
the US site at http://www.earthhourus.org/ and it indicates that folks
should turn their lights off, not turn off everything that is powered. The
site says " World Wildlife Fund is asking individuals, businesses,
governments and organizations around the world to turn off their lights for
one hour". Is that what this is about?

If so, you can still run your radio/computer but turn off the lights. Heck,
if it had to be everything electronic that needed to be off, it would need
to be called Earth 3-hour for me. One hour to turn everything off, one hour
of everything being off, and then one hour turning everything back on again.

Hi

I wonder what is the recommendation by the organizers
of the CQ WPX Contest as to how to participate in the
Earth Hour 2009 event next Saturday?

A multi-station can run 48 hours, but if we do only 47,
is there any score-compensation?
