An algorithm could be used to provide an "adjustment" factor that would analyze
past hourly cumulative scores and bump up a new 36 hour SO score to
approximately what it *should* be at 48 hours (to appease Record-Breaking
Seekers). I actually started working on such a beast in the hotel room in St.
Croix after 40 hours in 2004 ARRL CW DX Contest left me feeling like I had been
the Demonstration Test Subject at an annual (that's a-n-n-u-a-l) Proctologist's
Convention ;-(
