[UK-CONTEST] End Time

[Tom Boucher]

At the end of last week's SSB AFS, having had a pretty lean few minutes beforehand, three stations responded to my CQ at 1759Z. As far as I recall, I completed the exchange of reports and serial with one of them as the clock changed to 1800.00. The other two then called me and I had to politely explain that we were out of time. I reckon it is pretty nit-picking to dis-alllow a contact which is completed, or almost completed, by the end time but the 'Enter' button on the log-keeping PC is not pushed until the end time!

Having said that, rules is rules and we must abide by them, I guess!
