This is one of the big contests of the year and participation will be huge. There are many categories to choose from. Expect wall to wall stations when bands are open.
Here is a link to all-time contest records. They can be filtered by continent, country and call area for US and some countries.

Hope to see you there!

Thanks, Bill, for cheerleading this weekend's event!
Point of clarification, though ...
Single-ops are encouraged to operate as much of the 48 hours as they desire. The 30-hour "limit" is not on operating, but simply on the official score calculation.
If you're having fun, keep going! Whatever you do, never delete QSOs from your log. This goes for dupes or QSOs beyond your 30-hour score calculation period. Doing so may result in penalties for either you or the other station, or both.
