[CQ-Contest] Operation times in RDXC

[DL8MBS]

Hello,
for those interested in the activity time of contesters here another 
count through the times given by Russian DX Contest based on the claimed 
scores list for the 2006 event.

There were 936 non-russian single-op entrants in the allband categories 
of this 24-hour-contest (about 150 more than 2005). For 892 of them 
times were available.

Of those were active
20-24 h        11,3% (13,7% in 2005)
16-20 h         8,3%    (9,9%)
12-16 h        13,5%    (14,1%)
8-12 h        18,8%    (22,4%)
4-8 h        25,3%    (22,1%)
0-4 h        22,8%    (17,7%)

53 or 5,9% worked between 23 and 24 hours (7,4% in 2005).

66,9% operated less than halftime (62,2% in the previous year). With a 
total of about 8735 operation-hours the average operation time was 9,8 
hours per logsending allband-operator. In 2005 it was 10,8 hours. The 
bad 40m-condx may have been one reason for.
