[CQ-Contest] How many hours do SOAB entrants actually operate?

[Christian Schneider]

N2IC wrote: In the 24 hour RDXC, 9% operate full time (>23 hours). In the 48
hour CQWW SSB (using KR2Q data), 11.9% operate 24 hours or more. So,
presented with a shorter contest, the percentage who choose to operate full
time is actually less than the percentage who operate 24 or more hours in a
48 hour contest.
-------------------------------

Comparing apples to apples (fulltime to fulltime) the same figures read:
In WWDX SSB 2006 0,97 percent SOAB operated 42 or more hours (at least close
to fulltime) and in RDXC 15 percent operated fulltime = Presented with a
shorter duration for fulltime a much greater percentage of ops decided for a
competetive entry.
YMMV
