[CQ-Contest] 24 or 48 hours

[WI8W <rtty@comcast.net>]

I, for one am feeling the effects of getting older.  Although I have not 
quite hit 50 yet, I am finding that my max time in the seat is about 
10-12 hours and then I need at least 6-8 hours off to recover.  I can 
then hit it for another 10-12 hours.

This is a far cry from when in my 20's I could pound out 48 hours 
straight with no problem.

personally I like the NAQP contests and contests that run 30 or more 
hours with a 24-36 hour max op time.  At least I can get some rest in 
the middle.
