I agree!! The reason some contests have time limits is because some
people can't say awake all 48 hours. But since this is only a 24hr
contest and we are YOUNG contests we should be able to work the whole
contest. Also the contest ends on Sunday morning, so you can catch up on
your sleep during Sunday.

Hope to work everybody in the ARRL RTTY roundup this weekend.
