All other things being equal (i.e. operator, antennas, QTH), does anyone 
really think a 24-hour entry, cobbled together around other obligations, 
is going to be a serious contender for a top-10 position, vs. a 24-hour 
entry that the operating time is chosen exclusively for a big score ? 
Highly unlikely, unless those other obligations take place between 1 AM 
and 5 AM local time.
