[Joe]

Well I was asking the guy at ARRL that gave the SS webinar

/I was asking him this morning a few questions, and one of them was.....



One more question.

Once I use up my 24 hours,, can I continue to operate just to give away 
more points to others?


and HIS reply is...


You can operate more than 24 hours, however only your first 24 hours 
will be used for scoring purposes. You are welcome to continue working 
others; just be sure to log them.
