Yeah, I guess it will. Darn. Based on that, I've changed the start time to 12:45pm.

Ahh, some much needed practice. Any word on the CD or the tasks? I am looking forward to improving this season through regular local contests.

Any of the new faces from last month coming back out?

I'll be the CD and the tasks are posted above in the original announcement. I'm planning on 6 rounds with 2 flights groups per round. If we get enough pilots to warrant three flight groups per round, we'll pull the start time in a little earlier so we still finish by around 4pm.

Cheers,
Brad
