[CQ-Contest] CQWW hours of operation: analysis

[Richard DiDonna NN3W]

Itd be interesting to do a hours of operation analysis at the peak of the cycle, as opposed to 2006 which was on the verge of being the absolute bottom of the cycle...

While  you'll probably see an incremental change in the number of hams operating 40-48, I'll bet money that the percentage over 24 hours increases dramatically.
