I agree most heartily. WPX will be only a casual effort for me this year. Steve KA2KON Just contemplating this weekend without any significant contest activity, and wondering why WPX SSB is on Easter

I guess where I was coming from is ... we now have virtually instantaneous, universal communication among contesters. The old rationale for always having contests on "the second full weekend in X" wo

The WPX SSB is traditionally held the last full weekend of March. Been that way for a long time. As his been pointed out, Easter moves around. Sometimes the two occur on the same weekend. It has some
