Thanks for reading this message.

Before submitting my ARRL 10 m entry had a last minute 
look through the rules and noticed the bit about 'on' 
and 'off' times.

The 'General Rules for All ARRL Contests' spell out the 
format of an electronic log file. It says in paragraph 
4.8 that on and off times are to be indicated in a 
separate column.

My ZL2DX.LOG file doesn't appear to have that info (not 
surprising since I didn't use OPON/OPOFF or ON/OFF 
during the contest). It has a mysterious column of zeros 
at the end however.

How do other people produce a .log file to ARRL 
standards? Should I have used ON/OFF? I am considering 
sending a .OPR lookalike file along with my entry 
indicating when I took my naps, provided the ARRL won't 
disqualify it on a technicality...

Incidentally, indicating on and off times on a QSO line 
makes no sense to me. Listening time counts as on time.

Wilbert ZL2BSJ.
