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

[Joe]

Myself still would love to see someone sponsor, run, manage, whatever, a 
test, where the contest duration is still the full 48 hours. but you can 
only operate a max 24 hours.

I just would love to see a formal test of that. it wouldn't hurt the 
regular contest, in fact it may help the sunday afternoon doldrums even.
