Hi Mike,
The survey is asking about a person's ability to gain access to Internet 
services during a contest (or within 24 hours afterward).  As you noted, 
"[interest] in getting people going to the trouble of putting rare grids on the 
air [is] a different discussion", indeed.

It sounds like you could regain access, but the "within 24-hours" thing is the 
limiting factor.  So noted...and thanks.

The survey didn't define the contest period.  Would your answer change if the 
contest event were "sprint like" (5-hours over one night)?  Would (or Have) you 
Roved to rare grids for Sprints or stayed home (or not operated)?

Unfortunately, I'm heading to Orlando for 4 days, starting this morning.  I'll 
have no pop-mail access to the list (unless there is a web-interface to 
it...which I'll check out).  There may be a flurry of reply emails from me upon 
my return. :)

Best wishes,
Ev, W2EV
