I created graphs from the CW and SSB tables to help visualize the
numbers. You can download or view the PDF from here:

was the CW logs show a longer 'persistence' in the operating chair.
Although there are more SSB logs turned in, they 'give up' sooner.
What would be interesting is a graph of the number of QSOs logged on a
per-minute timeline. If the "master" log were available for analysis,
all kinds of interesting views could be created in chart form.
