I have never been to Cyprus but I have make 4500 qsos in 24 hours
from Honduras as a single op at the dead bottom of the
solar cycle.
And as I recall N6KT made 10,000 qsos in 48 hours with a bit
more than half coming in the first 24 hours.
So I would say that it is possible to average 200/hr for 24 hours.
