[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Rules for 2013 Announced

[Paul Stoetzer]

Isn't that what the rules say?

*1. Classic Operator (CLASSIC):* The entrant will use only one radio, no
QSO alerting assistance, and may operate up to 24 of the 48 hours – *off
times are a minimum of 60 minutes during which no QSO is logged.* If the
log shows more than 24 hours of operation, only the first 24 hours will be
counted for the overlay score. The one radio must not be able to receive
while transmitting.
