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

[N1MM]

If you want to win, place or show in a contest, a long contest is your 
friend.  Except for one of us, there is an op out there that can beat 
us.  If he has to go into work on Saturday morning, you might have a 
chance.

My point is that if you have any illusions that you might win a contest 
because it is shorter, just the opposite is true.  You are more likely 
to win if you can stay in the chair for close to the full contest, while 
better contesters have to sit on the sidelines.

If you really want to do well, stay in the chair during miserable 
conditions.  Some good ops will throw in the towel, and your rank will 
likely go up.
