I agree.  The only cogent counter-argument I recall from the last iteration
on this topic was that a shorter active period would discourage contest
DXpeditioners from doing their thing in this contest.  With respect, is
that important?  As Lew says, we already have CQWW and the ARRL DX test
where country mults matter.  

Oh, another point ... leaving it the way it is just encourages whining from
west of the Mississippi.  Let's cut it to 30 hours, eliminate that excuse,
and see who's right... ;^}
