Did it ever occur to you that the folks who kept the bands hopping for 48 hours might enjoy a rest? Maybe spend some time with their families, watch the Winter Olympics on TV, go for a walk, etc.?
Even though I was only a casual participant in the contest on a single band, I enjoyed the respite. There's always tomorrow! 73, Chuck NI0C K2, K3 "Yet, at 0000Z time on Sunday the band droped out as if a nuclear bomb had hit the entire world. What is wrong with Ham radio when we only know how to enjoy our hobby when there's a contest? At 0001z I sent a repeated CQ CQ CQ, it took till 0014z before someone 500 miles from me finally answered it. Yet 14 minutes before that I was hearing Cuba, Ireland, the South Pacific and Finland all within 10KC of my CQ calling freq. What an utter shame...Man, Ham radio really needs a good kick in the butt!
