Speaking of which - I have a question - Are you planning to change any off-time strategy due to expected good condx. on the high bands? Even though I have always had the opinion that we east coasters don't get the advantages that our west coast competition does on 10/15m, I am considering whether to trade an extra hour or so of early morning Sunday off time (where I would typically be on 40/80 making ~ 40/hr) for an extra hour in the afternoon where I could be on the high bands? Thoughts??

Yeah, the annual question.
If my lousy memory recalls correct, I chastised self last year for
running too late- the next day number were better than had figured.

There is always the possibility of a flare messing with things. All I
can say, is I plan to go til about 3AM instead of 4.
This also raises the issue of running to the 9pm EST end or burning
out early on the high bands, dunno.
Best we can probably do is watch the rate-o-meter and adjust accordingly.
Possibly a good idea to review your late night numbers from last year
for comparison.
Personally, the worse 40M is the sooner I will shutdown for the nite.

FWIW, got in the thurs sprint last night and was not impressed by 20M
(dead @22:30 local)- NOR 40M. 80M and 160M were hot tho.

I hope everyone can get on for the practice tonight (22:30 local) to
check out software and hardware- not to mention assessing condx.
