[ct-user] Time calculation CQWW-CW

[AC0W]

Hank

I believe the default off threshold in CT is 10 minutes. As per Ed's
comments you need to change it to match the contest sponsors requirements.
For CQWW that is 60 minutes. Doing that should correct the problem.

I believe the correct command to set the off time is OFFTHRESHOLD in the
callsign field. My computer with CT is down right now so I can not verify.

1: I am curious how CT calculates time on air for CQWW - IE: is there a
window that is used before it thinks you are "off".

Reason I ask is my calcs say I was "on" 26.22 hours using a half hour as
being "off" - CT says I was "on" 20.8 hours "off" 26.9 hours.  ( I started
about 15 minutes late).

Set the time off threshold, using the command OFFTHRESH.  It may not 
be set to what you think is the min time off.
