I never use the /ON /OFF because I always screw it up somehow.
For contests where I care about time (where I operate long enough to
need to be sure) I wrote a little program that scans the log file and spots
long periods between QSOs and if greater than a certain threshold,
counts it as a time off. Not perfect, but gives me a start of where to look
and figure out the time spent in the contest later.
Perhaps such a routine could be put in POST?
