6 percent of all logs. Does that include single band entries who obviously
cannot do 24 hours? You can't operate on 160 for 24 hours. Same with 10
right now. I guess theoretically you could, but you're better served
catching 4 hours of sleep during "dead time".
What percentage of all band entries were 24 hours?
In any event, there is NO reason why any serious entrant in an all band
category COULD NOT go a full 24 hours. 48 hours is a real challenge. 24
hours should not be.
