[CQ-Contest] ARRL 10m Contest Logging Problems

[Dale L. Martin]

Ed,
Check http://www.arrl.org/contests/forms/novsslog.pdf page.
There is, indeed, a column for on/off times...and it's right
after the QSO time column.

In General Rules for All ARRL Contests,
http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/99/rules-all.html ,
Paragraph 4. ARRL Standard File Format, subparagraph 8., says:

In contests that require rest periods, the "times on" and "times
off" must be in a separate column.

It will be nice once a standard log format is established among
the contest sponsors and the contest software writers, then we
won't have to worry about such things.  The software will do it
for us.
