Jeff;
 
Thanks for the clarification.  Seems odd , though.  I guess that  means 
that if someone happen to take two 35 minute breaks early on ,  any additional  
clock time until the end of the contest is considered  operating time 
against the 24 hour limit - correct? 
 
For some reason, at the time, we thought the log checking looked at the  
longest two breaks. But if it doesn't work that way, it's good to know.
 
For the casual participant, it probably does not matter that much.

"2.2  Operating time  will be calculated using the elapsed time between  the
first QSO and  the last QSO logged minus the longest two breaks during this
elapsed time  where such breaks are a minimum of 30 minutes  each."




Close. I agree this approach is clearer  but does not reflect how it is 
done currently. Log checking will take the  FIRST two breaks longer than 30 
minutes, not the longest two breaks.
