Every once in a while the committee deviates from the consecutive week spring
sprint schedule. For 2024 the 144MHz sprint was scheduled a week earlier than
usual to avoid both the NCAA Finals and the solar eclipse.

I notice that Monday and Tuesday, April 8 and 9, are skipped. I will be
quite a ways from home for the eclipse on those days. Probably a lot of us
are going to be doing the same and wouldn't get to operate for the first
few days of that week.
