[CQ-Contest] How to be sure you have 60+ minutes off time

[Hank Greeb]

Yeah, but why would a neophyte, dolt, lid like me think that two 
contacts, an hour apart in a log, would NOT beconsidered as being one 
hour apart? If I subtract 22 hours and 60 seconds from 22 hours and 60 
seconds I get 1 hour.

But, as Isaid, I didn't operateanywhere near the maximum time permitted 
by the rules, so itdidn't really matter tome.  But, perhaps the rules 
should make a note that "most logging software drops the seconds in the 
timestamp," and that log checkersactually require 61minutes between 
contacts instead of 60 minutes between contacts to be a valid "hour off."

Oh, well, I'm sorry I mentioned a comment whichcaused a few folks said 
"I shouldwatch what I say negativeabout N1MM software." The 
programmerswere only following the convention (which i think very 
strange) established by some rules committee.
