TIME

Use the TIME command to find out when the timer on the op you are hosting will timeout and take the op off the air. If you know your Q-codes, QRT? (asking “shall I stop sending?”) does the same thing.

The first number is when you go off the air. The second is the 2 hour maximum, which no op can pass. When there is still room between them, the reply adds what STAY would buy you:

K7ABC-6OTATIME

OTAK7ABC-6Off the air in 35 minutes, max 95 minutes. STAY adds 30 mins

That last number is what a STAY would really add, so near the maximum it is less than 30. When the first two numbers are the same you are at the maximum, and it goes away because there is nothing left to add.

See Host an op for more information on when to use this command.

Hints

TIME with no live op: TIME needs an op on the air. Send HOST to start one. limited to 1 per 24 hours, then silent
TIME from a different SSID than the op's: Your op is run by {station}. Send TIME from it. limited to 1 per 24 hours, then silent

Machine form

TIME!

Two integers: whole minutes until the op goes off the air, then whole minutes to the two-hour maximum. Sent to the station running the op.

the timer: TIME! {minutes} {cap}

The grammar every machine form shares is in the handbook's API section.
