1) I read this as "If the time is between 10 and 11 in the morning on the 
19th of April, hangup. Else, play goodbye and hangup." Neither case will 
get you to the conference.

2) Is it still the "19'th" in your part of the world?

3) Try replacing each element with "*" to identify the source of your 
problem.

And a few suggestions:

1) Since the target of your gotoiftime is in the same context and the same 
extension, you only need to specify the priority.

2) You can use the "n" priority.

Both will make your code more robust, maintainable, and reusable.

Thanks in advance,
