Or how about yeah another new category.

The contest window is still the full 48 hours. But you cant operate more than 24.

Skill strategy, comes in now. Not just the biggest signal. But when is best to maximize possible score and LOTS of time offs. So everyone should be able to do it.

I suspect a "24 Hour" category would show very positive numbers initially.
I'm doubtful there would be this sudden surge of "Casual Joe" type ops (they
typically get on when they get on) but maybe a few would up their game.  In
all likelihood the bulk of "24 Hour" entrants would come from "30-36 Hour"
guys that dial it back.  Net result is less overall activity/QSOs.  But that
may all be fine and good in the end.


Hi Mike

But, what if all the 24 hour guys operate the first 24 and then quit?  That
would make for a boring weekend for the 48 hour guys.  73
