I agree with you John. My schedule at work often only makes the dreadfully early morning passes before 6am possible for me. I have often spoken with Craig W1MED and Carm WO3T roundtable style in the early mornings. Now if I could only figure how to stay warm at those hours since I am still using a portable setup. Lol!

The early passes on AO-51 for me occur just as I'm getting ready for work. That being said, I do enjoy the LATE passes on SO-50 when they occur and the late passes on SO-67 when it's available to NA. Form DM33 (Arizona) passes after 2000 Local are generally open. A few nights a go I had a Nice QSO with Kerry, WC7V on birds. It is refreshing to get more than the usual exchange of calls & grids.
BTW, SO-67 is a nice bird to work with a hand held. With the continuous carrier it's easy to stay on the bird.
