As long as any of us have a family, an employer or clients, a concern about 
personal health, an obligation to the Federal Government (read TAXES) and 
membership in at least one additional organization or activity . . .there 
WILL be unavoidable conflicts!

In January 2002, I "reserved" weekends for ARRL DX (both), FD, PAQP, and CQWW 
(both) on the family calendar.  How am I doing?  I managed 'bout half of both 
ARRL DX tests, missed FD completely, and am pretty sure that I'll miss most 
of PAQP Sunday.  It's too early to guess about CQWW.

It's amateur radio . . .we do it for FUN.
