Just let the operator choose any starting time. From that point, they can operate for the next 24 hours, should they decide to be even do that much.

Picking best 24 hours is pretty absurd IMHO. I'll just run the
statistical analysis of one hour chunks - or even one minute chunks - to
see which gives the best QSO and point ratio. i can guarantee you that
the big stations will win this one.

Make it 24 hours straight and be done with it (not that I agree with any
24 hour window at all). Of course, someone in the world is going to
complain that a particular start time is prejudicial for some reason.

I can support this effort. Doesn't burden the sponsors yet and we see who
actually bellies up. I certainly hope that ALL of the vocal people on

dedication and
commitment to operating and competing as much as rendering opinion.


I think that 30 min off times and 6 stages is too generous. Are we
competing or just accommodating convenience? Need to decide which it is.


I think that N4OGW's suggestion of "the best 24" as long as you
operate at
least 24 will be very demoralizing for this group. The best 24 f the 40+
crowd is likely as good or better than the best 24 for the 24 crowd.
If you
think any of us are sleeping or eating during that 24.you really are not
paying attention.
