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

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

That may the good part, but the contest lumps all participants in to one  
category whether they use packet or not...that part sucks.  But it's about  
choices, apparently most people don't mind since the contest is popular.

I will  defer to the 24 hour aspirees to come up with rules for this
"category  wanna be".  Personally, I like the WAE format for this purpose.  
 3
off times, that's it, with 60 min minimum.  If people can't pull  all
nighters, that solves it.  But if you are trying to interleave a  
competitive
contest in a "normal family or work activity weekend" it kills  that right 
at
the outset.  After all, it's a competition, not an "open  house" folks..



I think everyone commenting on these new  category rules proposals should
commit to operating them.  Say 50% of  the opportunities for the next 3
years?  24 hour submittal?  Lets  make sure that actual participants are
influencing the trial.  This  reflector is quite enamored with lots of 
dialog
and not as much on the air  operating demonstration.
