After getting docked in SS for going over the 24 limit, I think I have figured
out the time thing. If you have log entries for 2100Z through 2130Z, you have
operated 31 minutes. Minute 1 is 2100Z, minute 2 is 2101Z and minute 31 is
2130Z. That 2130Z contact could have taken place at 21:30:59 and still be
logged as 2130Z. Specifying a contest as starting at 2100Z and ending at
0300Z still means 30 hours exactly, as the ending time is 03:00:00. The
contest ends at 0300Z, but you can't have any log entries as 0300Z.
