According to the authorities, the list of off/on time is optional, but
must be in the comments area of the submission.
I specifically asked, and Dan did not indicate that anyone would be DQed
if they failed to include an off/on time list. But like anything else, it
is possible that the judges may ask for such a list post-submission.

Bill:
Many people edit their log file to show something like this:
QSO: 28497 PH 2000-03-04 0008 N1ND 59 CT VK2UZ 59 400
off time 0008
on time 0008
QSO: 28497 PH 2000-03-04 0009 N1ND 59 CT VK3CAT 59 400
This occurring in the middle of the log file makes it unusable, meaning we
have to spend considerable time detecting the problem and manually editing
it out just to be able to use the file.
The Cabrillo format can be used to calculate the off times. For those
that
feel they must include it in the file, it should be placed in the Soapbox
section of the header.
Thanks and 73
