Mike, what is amazing is that 3455 logs have been received for the 2013 RDXC, held just a few weeks ago. If you haven't heard of it, you have been following in the footsteps of Rip Van Winkle.

So RDXC and CQWW are on the same level? Apparently we can now draw
definite conclusions by comparing one of the best "attended" with a
contest that many people have never heard of. Amazing.

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.

Are the
"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.
