Oh, cmon ! I have never heard anyone start a contest that early !
In the few mins prior to the Sprint, it may sound like the contest has
actually started, with lots of people exchanging 599+ and name in rapid fire
style.
On the other hand, what about all those QSO's logged at 0359Z ? I hear
lots of QSO's started a minute or more past the end time.
You really can't trust your computer clock for accurate timing. I find
that my old 8088 drifts several minutes in the course of a 48 hour contest.
My new 486 is much better in that respect.
