The only real change to off times in ARRL contests is that the 10m contest
now requires a minimum of 30 minutes for off times - it didn't used to be
specified and some people took advantage of it to use 5 or 10 min off times...

Besides, who in the USA has over 36 hours of propogation in the US during the
48 hour 10 meter contest? I've done this conterst seriously for over 15
years and have never worried about a time off or total time. This would only
be a
concern for the S. American guys or ZD8.
It certainly won't be a problem for a long time with spots on the way down!
