[CCF] Edin W0YK (P49X) hyvä juttu WXP RTTY

[Luoma-aho Pasi]

Hei,

Tuossa W0YK:n tekstissä lienee selkeästi väärää tietoa tuosta single-operaattorin operointiajasta.  Hän sanoo tekstissä, että "Single operator logs are scored on only the first 30 hours of operation".

Säännöissä sanotaan kuitenkin näin:  "Single-Operator stations may operate 30 of the 48 hours - off times must be a minimum of 60 minutes." 


Ymmärtääkseni single-op voi sijoittaa nuo 30 workkimistuntiaan parhaaksi katsomallaan tavalla koko 48 tunnin kisan ajalle.   Jokaisen tauon on kuitenkin oltava aina vähintään tunnin mittainen.
