Gosh, just got back expecting to see an intelligent analysis of this 
morning's ROPOCO and nothing of the sort... Don't seem to have worked 
any of the complainants this morning either (ducks under cover...).

As it happens the early time is fine for me, and there seemed plenty of 
people on right from the start. But they were virtually all seasoned CW 
contesters, maybe this sort of event is not for the beginners who just 
like 599001. You wouldn't have had me on today in the 1600-1700 slot, 
and I suspect during the summer most people would be doing other things 
that time of day.

(and of course you won't see me in the SSB ROPOCO next year...).
