[WT-support] CQWW 10 min rules

[Zoli Pitman HA1AG]

I fully agree with Mikey.  I4UFH's idea  is a very selfish and unfair approach.

Hello

If you run a multiplier without looking that it's OK for the 10 min rule 
and happen to notice this when you press enter to log the qso but its 
not allowed, this might end up being a NIL or time error in multipliers 
log. Which is of course NOT ok!

So I'd say that if the ops are not able to keep track of a simple window 
saying if they are allowed to work a mult or not, they might want to 
select something different to do, maybe pick flowers or collect stamps.

Cu all in SAC CW this weekend!
