I know where you are coming from, Steve, so no problem.
I'll see what others might have to say between now and Saturday, and just
make a command decision at that point.
Regarding the setup, it's still going on here, especially in relation to the
computer logging and other tweaking, so I think I'll be ok.

I dunno Tom. I just stir the pot. I don't have to eat the soup.
Looks like both class A and B have provision for claiming commercial
power. I would have thought that class B suits your situation better,
but the ARRL guy told you class A last year. It worked out, so maybe
do the same again.
There is also a rule that class A or B can't set up earlier than 000
UTC Friday. Don't know how fine of a point you want to put on this.
It's just once a year, have fun and don't obsess.
