[UK-CONTEST] UK log requirements question

[G3SJJ]

Similar thoughts from here Nigel and thinking back to the "golden era" of
contest logging on sheets of paper, we only needed to write in  one time
co-ordinate, which, in practice, may or may not have been the actual start
time. I never really bothered too much about being overly accurate with that
aspect. Usually when the rate was around 60 Q/H, I would record time once an
hour and fill in post-contest.
Adjudication probably only involved looking at the time if there was a
particular query on a QSO, and even then as I recall it clock/watch
inaccuracy/synch would mean allowing around 10 minutes or so.

Regarding BR68 etc, I haven't seen a local RA inspector for over 20 years so
I am not really sure what would be acceptable and what wouldn't!  Chris

ALL my QSOs, since about the late 60's, have finished in the same
minute that they started.

Does ANYONE actually have a QSO lasting more than a minute?

If so, I can't think why!
