I am rather amused by this discussion of 'unsocial hours' that crops up 
every time there is a RoPoCo. Among the same crowd who think nothing 
about doing 48hour contests at all hours. I guess I am in the minority 
who disagree every single time.

Current time is unsuitable for me as I have to out of the house at 9.30 
local on Sundays. 0800-1000z would mean I would quite definitely not be 
able to do it. It should be one or two hours EARLIER - 0600-0800 would 
just about suit me, even better 0500-0700 to make me get out of bed 
when the alarm clock goes off and still time to do my Sunday odds and 
ends before going out..

As for this Sunday, I forgot.... but was on the bands searching for 
inaudible DX.
