So then any casual QSOs I make before the SS starts,
even if they aren't to hold a frequency, must be added
to my 24 hour limit? Wouldn't that also limit me to
what bands I operate on? If I make a QSO on or listen
to the local 2 meter repeater, I have to add that to
my SS time, but now I just violated the SS rules by
using an unauthorized band.
