Well I must admit that I completely forgot about ROPOCO yesterday.... 
but judging from comments on here I would have found it hard going on 
QRP. An early start is no problem for me, an earlier finish would be 
preferred as I always have to be out the house by 9.30 on Sundays. 
(sleeping in, what is that? Can't remember when I was last up after 
6.30).

As a suggestion, why not have it in the evenings to replace the sprint 
events? I have never got my brain round those and they get next to no 
support from my local club. There seems no problem in getting people to 
come on for CC events in the evenings, and there is usually propagation 
apart from the winter months.
