I think there is some confusion on this WPX warmup, at least there was on my end.  It looks like Tim's warmup was a personal invitation, not the official one that contest sponsor CQ which Ed sent out today.  Ed's warmup followed the usual expected schedule.  Ed's warmup announcement always comes late but the schedule is more or less predictable.

I would be eager to participate in any additional private sponsored warmup sessions but the recommendation to have an announcement earlier still stands - especially for private ones.

Sorry I wasn't able to make the warm-up. I had wanted to do it, but other things interposed, as they often do! I do plan to be on Thursday night, though, for NS. Hope we have better conditions than last week, though.

73,

Steve, K4DXV
