Thanks for the data, Chris.
In the 24 hour RDXC, 9% operate full time (>23 hours).
In the 48 hour CQWW SSB (using KR2Q data), 11.9% operate 24 hours or more.
So, presented with a shorter contest, the percentage who choose to
operate full time is actually less than the percentage who operate 24 or
more hours in a 48 hour contest.
I fail to see how adding a 24 hour category to a 48 hour contest will
encourage more people to operate even 24 hours.

"24 hour category" folks walking their talk ?

Hi Steve,
in four RDXCs 11 to 15 percent of the SOAB operated 20 to 24 hours with up
to 9 percent having 23:xx hours.
