[RTTY] Final Hours of CQWW WPX RTTY?

[Don Hill AA5AU]

There is action during the last 3-4 hours.  But it seems slower to me the 2-3 hours before that, starting around 1800Z-2000Z.  I
have operated the first 30 hours straight before when I had a commitment on Sunday.  That worked well, think I might have won
something that year.  This year I also have a commitment on Sunday so plan on ending the contest sometime around 1600Z on Sunday, if
not earlier and I'll be using a totally new strategy this year.

Is there much activity in the last 3-4 hours of CQWW WPX RTTY?

 

I've always expended my 30 hours as a single op long before then, so I have no experience with the final hours.  40 and 80 are open
from Aruba to Europe and North America at that time, but if few stations are actually still operating, it would be a waste of time.
Thanks in advance for sharing your past experience.

 

I could enter M2, but I'm not sure I have the stamina for 48 hours!
