Contest Schedule

Pick a couple timeslots and contact (Aaren to sign-up). 

Operators normally work in pairs for some company and help with the logging.

Contest rules state no equipment setup should begin before 0:00 UTC  (Friday 5pm PST)

Let Bob or Aaren know which slots you might be able to fill – multiple hours okay, but suggest not more than 2 hrs per set of operators – it gets hard sitting there. Amount of operating will depend on number of ops.
