[CQ-Contest] CQWW hours of operation: analysis

[kr2q at optonline.net]

Well Chris, very interesting stats.

Never would I have guessed that only 11% of all SOAB entrants 
operate more than 30 hours.  We are a very small group, indeed!

I hope this lines up okay.  Group = hours of operation as per Chris' email.

group	      Pct / group	    cumulative Pct
42-48	          1.92%	                1.92%
36-42	          3.21%	                5.13%
30-36	          6.15%	              11.28%
24-30	          7.85%	              19.13%
18-24	        11.81%	             30.94%
12-18	        18.82%	             49.76%
 6-12	        25.31%	              75.07%
  0-6	         24.93%	             100.00%


I think (know) that all of us "serious" ops owe a real debt of gratitude 
to the 25% of entrants who operate less than 6 hours total.  

And equal thanks to those who put in 6-12 hours who make up the
second 25%.

Without these 2 groups, contesting would be really BORING!
