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!

"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! "
