[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Rules for 2013 Announced

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

C'mon guys, it's plain English.  If your operation started at 0000Z on 
Saturday, and went 24 hours, that would still be your *first* 24 hours.  
If it started at 2300Z Saturday and ran until 2359 Sunday, straight 
through, then your 24 hours would end at 2300 (or maybe 2259) Sunday

73, Pete N4ZR

>> The Classic Overlay has been changed from any 24 hours to the first 24 hours.  What we have now is a mini-iron butt contest instead of a contest in which the operator can choose the best 24 hours to suit his/her situation and QTH. It defeats the purpose of have a 24 hour category - IMHO
