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

[Radio K0HB]

"Game the rules".  Really!?!?!?!?

Any reasonable person would assume that after more than 60 minutes have 
passed, he could make the next contact.

Now, of course, we know that the robot isn't too smart, so we must let up to 
61-minutes pass (at least those few of us who read this thread now know 
that).

The rest of the contest world who carefully wait only a full hour aren't 
"gaming the rules", they are doing exactly what the rules specify that they 
do.  Does the "spirit of the rules" require them to wait 61 minutes?

My personal belief is that much of the grief that contesters have with the 
rules is a desire by some to 'game the rules' - rather than understand the 
'spirit of the rules.'
