To provide some definition around the meaning of off time the 60 minute
minimum rule was created.  It only says that once you start operating, you
must not make a QSO for 60 minutes in order for it to count as off time.  

So think of the "operating clock" as stopping when you are in an off time.
The "operating clock" restarts when you make a QSO.

The contest ends when the "operating clock" reaches 36 hours of operation.
Anything in the log after 36 operating hours is not counted.

/This is essentially the same process used for SS, except it is 24 hours 
operating time with 30 minute offtimes.
