Hi Jeff,
I'm looking at participating in the RTTY Roundup for the first time.
I'm a bit perplexed by rule 2.2. Does this mean that once I have stopped
operating twice that I'm done for the contest if I stop again?
Say for example that I start the contest, and operate for 4 hours, and then
go off and make dinner for the family. I might then be free to come back
after 2 hours and continue operating. I then operate for another 6 hours
or so and then head to bed, getting up 6 hours later and then rejoin. I've
now had two blocks of off time. If I were then to stop after some amount
of operating time, would I be able to rejoin the contest or am I done?
What happens if I start the contest some hours late? Is that considered
one of the off periods?
And, what would be the minimum time between contacts to count as off-time?
As I said ... I ain't done this one before ...
Thanks, 73
Pierre VE3KTB
