[RTTY] the 18-hour girdle and wpx 2006

[Jeff Stai WK6I]

I'm sitting here on my hands, all geared up for a full weekend of one of the 
greatest contests of the year, trying to waste 18 hours of break time.

Can't sleep nine hours a day, that won't work. Six hours fits into a normal 
"get enough sleep and see the family at dinner" pattern. Nine is just a waste.

Don't want to get into any projects that I would just have to stop at the 
end of my minimum one hour break. And if I come out of the shack someone 
will see me and FIND me a project!

Can't go anywhere - I might get stuck away from the shack and miss an opening.

Nope, all I can do is sit here in the shack and stare longingly at my lovely 
radios and my computer, which I am using to write this little missive. 
Trapped by the 18-hour girdle. Wasting hours I could be having FUN with.

Can't we pretty please have a 36-hour operating time for the WPX RTTY next 
year, just like all the other WPX contests?
