#QSO Time

QSO time is the time written in the log for each contact, and it is one of the fields that contest committees check closely. Different operators log the time at the start of the exchange, at its end or at the moment the logger saves the entry, and the habit matters near the edges of the contest. Articles under this tag explain how to choose a habit and how to keep the clock accurate. They also describe what happens to QSOs that fall outside the contest period. The advice is general, and the current rules decide the details.
