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.

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!
