It doesn't matter to me what time. I just figured there should be a "meeting time" rather than just

My thoughts on 4PM eastern were this: By two hours into Field Day it might provide some relief to 
those operators that had been sitting in front of a radio with headphones on for those two hours. 
(numb a$$ relief!!)
