Endurance is a major part of contesting, but not an appealing part.  The 
reason CQWW does so well is not that is is 48 hours long, but that it attacts 
more activity from more parts of the world than any other contest.  For WRTC 
I would rather have winners determined on knowledge, experience, strategy, 
speed, and accuracy, than the ability to function well for 48 hours without 
sleep.
