And kidding aside.... I find it common among the PSK generation to use the buffer: "qso logged at 00:00:00" at the END of a qso.
Don't know how that got started but it seems to be trend. (guess some software had that premade buffer and others copied it) But this goofs up the startime/endtime issue. I personally log the time we 'make contact' as the start time. When the station comes back to my call. "W9OL de P5GOOF, tu etc. etc." I can't say I ever saw a rtty qso use that buffer to end a qso, but I do see it a lot in PSK. LoTW accepts a 30 minute variance in start times, so unless you pretty long winded it should make it... ----------------------------------------------------- Keep on a digging, the best bones are buried deepest! ----------------------------------------------------- Bill H. in Chicagoland
