That would seem to be an important thing to know.
Thinking back to the K1EA CT logging program I seem to recall you
could use a command that would change the 'offtime' window that
the program looked at to caculate 'offtime' Say if you did not
make a contact for 30 mins it would count that as offtime but
if you only went 29 mins without a contact that would not
be counted as offtime.
If the window is 5 minutes I can see how it would over count
many casual / small stations offtime as they can go a long time
between contacts.
