FD is essentially over on 1400 EDT Sunday. As the rules are now, if you set up in the 24 hours between 1400 EDT Friday and 1400 EDT Saturday, you lose the 3 hours between 1400 EDT Sunday and 1700 EDT Sunday - which are usually the 3 least-productive hours in the FD period. 73 de Jim, N2EY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
