Out here in W6, Rusty, W6OAT, is credited with the strategy of NCCC 
members trading stations for one of the two days of SS. To do that, of 
course, requires spare rigs and spare callsigns (like one borrowed from 
another ham who won't operate in SS). I've done that a half dozen times, 
and it certainly makes Sunday a lot more fun on both ends of the QSO.

As NCCC members have aged, there's far less interest in SS, and some of 
our members experience physical discomfort with more than a few hours of 
BIC. As a result, we haven't mounted a serious SS effort for about five 
years. I've chosen to work the CW weekend QRP, and often a pass on SSB.
