Re: [CQ-Contest] Flashback - Is It Time?

Picking best 24 hours is pretty absurd IMHO.  I'll just run the 
statistical analysis of one hour chunks - or even one minute chunks - to 
see which gives the best QSO and point ratio.  i can guarantee you that 
the big stations will win this one.
Make it 24 hours straight and be done with it (not that I agree with any 
24 hour window at all).  Of course, someone in the world is going to 
complain that a particular start time is prejudicial for some reason.
