I now realize that people misunderstood what I meant when I used the word
column for the time offset.
It is really the number of characters to the first digit of the time. So if
you have a file that looks like this:
21029 CW 2002-04-29 0247 K5ZD 599 WOR-MA K1KI 599 MA
21029 CW 2002-04-29 0248 K5ZD 599 WOR-MA W1YK 599 WORMA
21029 CW 2002-04-29 0248 K5ZD 599 WOR-MA W1XX 599 WOR
21029 CW 2002-04-29 0248 K5ZD 599 WOR-MA W3BGN 599 PA
^^^^
The time offset is 20.
Hope that helps.
Randy
