[SEDXC] 7O, XW2A, A51

[MIKE GREENWAY]

Hi Dave, I think our chances are not too great on 40 M.  Below are the
sunrise and sunset times approximate around the 8 th of May.

                        Sunrise                 Sunset

Atlanta              1043                     0026

Bhutan               2325                    1239

Our best chance is going to be at our sunset where there will still be a 1
hour split.  Probably the best would be at 0000 which is 1/2 hour before our
sunset and 1/2 hour after their sunrise.  They will have to be looking for
us as this will be a narrow window.  30 Meters maybe a little better shot
but still tight.   I don't see any chance at all on our sunrise as there is
almost a 2 hour split there.  See you in the pileups....
