Dave, you beat me to the keyboard!
It will take some time for the CQ team to compare previous log
submissions against this one. And the effect of the new category could
take more than a "once in a row" comparison.

If you don't know how many people might have opted to move up from 15
hours to 24 hours, don't know how many people might have decided to
submit a log who other wise would not, and don't know how many people
might have decided to participate because they didn't have to put in
40+ hours to be credible ... how on earth can you say at this point
that the Classic category isn't achieving expectations?? Especially
since it's the first year for it.

nice choice for those who feel inclined at the moment but taking 40+
hour
contesters down to 24 hours is not "helping contesting" necessarily,
folks.
Maybe there are lots of people "opting up" to 24 hours who used to do
10 or
15 hours, I don't know. But it does not seem to be "achieving
expectations"
collectively, from where I sit. Maybe the positive results are just not
obvious.
