Because otherwise with Eskip one part of the country would be in the contest and for others it would not have started yet. I'm sure the west coast would not be happy to be working the east coast and have the east coasters getting points for the QSO's while they did not.

erhaps the 6m sprint should be held first.  Maybe have it right before the Sept 
HF contest as a warmup of sorts.  Then there would be a greater chance for some 
s action.  Even mid-Sept still has some days with good Es activity.  Just a 
hought.... 

ooking forward to January,
