Gosh, I would doubt it's to equalize anything; I sure didn't view it that way.
>From my perspective, the delta in starting hours means:
- Have to leave work earlier
- Band is dead to East Coast at the contest start time (2 or 3pm local!).
- East Coast gets solid Friday, Saturday, and Sunday twilight/evenings
(Contest ends here at 4 or 5pm local)
I'm not complaining, because I could go operate somewhere else; I try as hard
as I can from where I am. However, I don't see how this makes anything more
'fair' for this side of the country.
I do want to try a 160m contest from the East Coast sometime.
