[Dx-qsl] CQ Cancels Jan 20, 2006

Wed Jan 18 22:43:14 EST 2006

For the last year I have been using my 15 Month 2005/2006 CQ Magazine 
Calendar for everyday scheduling as well as keeping an eye on when 
contest weekends are coming up. I have ordered the 2006/2007 calendar 
but am still using the 2005/2006 version until the new one arrives. The 
2005/2006 calendar goes up to March 2006.
My doctor gave me an appointment for Jan 20 and so I wanted to mark it 
on my calendar as to not forget it. But there is NO Jan 20th. The 
calendar goes from Thursday, Jan 19th to Friday, Jan 21, 2006. Every 
date after that is one day off.
Is Friday the 20th an unlucky day in some cultures? Friday the 13th is 
considered unlucky in some cultures but the CQ Calendar does have a 
Friday the 13th in Jan 2006.
Good thing it isn't a contest weekend. For those of us where a 48 hour 
weekend contest starts on a Friday afternoon or evening we would have 
lost several hours of operation.
