> If you are looking for W2EA to run the bands, look for us at the top of
the

> through 1.2 GHz and 10 GHz with scheduling. Our plans will be listed in
the
> W3SZ / K1RZ database.

So, if you are operating analog, and the band doesn't open in the first
5 minutes of the hour, you won't expect to work these guys.

Sounds like this is a computer to computer contest.  I guess I won't bother.
