That's a silly analysis. The 24 hour category was established so that participants didn't have to keep their butt in the chair for 45 hours, and so they'd have time for sleep and family. It ALSO was intended (at least by some of us who lobbied for it) to put some additional strategy into the event by requiring participants to intelligently select operating times (based upon propagation and bands) to maximize their score. It was never intended to turn the event into a one day contest.

A real 24 hour category does not require investing the whole weekend in the contest.
