[NLRS] The last hurrah - the September 10 GHz contest

[Joe Belany]

I have to agree.  I work a 24-hour shift the day previous.  If I hustle, and get some sleep the night previous, I won't be there until noon on Saturday as it is a 4 hour drive for me.  With all of the rain, I guess I'd like to know before hand if it is a go/no-go.

Scott's question is a good one, though.  3hrs for him; closer to 5 or 6 if Joe 
comes down; 4 for me to get down to Gilbert, only to find out there's no one on 
the other end because of unusable roads ?  Uh-uh.

I think we should have 1) an alternate location and 2) a "drop-dead" date/time 
for making the change to the alternate location or (ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT) scrub.
