From the rules:

*2.4.* All entries may operate no more than 24 of the 30 hours.

So if you plan to submit a log for scoring then I would not operate over 24 hours.

Getting the elusive sweep in SS a big part of the fun and the strategy. I would hate to find out that Station W1AAA lost to W1BBB because W1BBB worked VY1ZZ after VY1ZZ's 24 hours were up. There is nothing that can be done if VY1ZZ doesn't bother to submit a log, so maybe it doesn't matter or does it?

I don't know what the ARRL or the log checking software does if you operate substantially more than the 24 hour period.

CQ WW and ARRL DX allow you to operate 48 hours max. With the advent of the classic overlay CQ is encouraging you to operate more so that the contest does not die at the end.

I plan to operate SS next Saturday from a multi-single.
On Sunday, is it OK for me to operate with my own call from my home
station?  I suspect it is, and in that case, is it OK for me to work the
multi I operated from the previous day?
