[RTTY] BARTG-HF Contest Revision - proposal

[Alex - YO9HP]

"BARTG is in the process of revamping the rules"Since the contest revision is on BARTG agenda, I am just wondering if decrease of BARTG-HF contest duration, from 48 hrs to 24 hrs, is taken into consideration.
I checked the statistics of last editions and it is obvious that the number of participants is decreasing. From this point of view I would prefer to work 1000 QSO-s in 24 hrs, instead of 1200 QSO-s in 48 hrs (or 30 hrs for SO).
BARTG-HF maximum numbers of QSO: 
2016
-------MS: 641 QSO-sSOE: 1023 QSO-sSOAB: 659 QSO-s
2015-------MS: 1047 QSO-sSOE: 1119 QSO-sSOAB: 1192 QSO-s

Please observe the BARTG Sprint results. It is looking like a successful RTTY contest, with 1000-1200 QSO-s/24 hrs.

Of course the final number of QSO-s is strongly affected by propagation, but the basic idea remains: more QSO-s/hour.
