My experience has been different. If there's a problem with my Cabrillo log, the Robot returns an e-mail that spells out the problem and allows me to make corrections on the spot. The second attempt

OK ....that's two arm-chair contesters who don't know when CQWW SSB is. It is NOT this weekend. It is October 30-31. See http://www.cqww.com for details. Of course, if you want to try CQWW this weeke

Dave, I can't imagine this being true. Either the exchange is right or it's wrong. Following that logic if I work another station and he copies me as K9GY (sorry, Eric) he'd get credit for it because

Here's another example: I call CQ and get an answer. The caller sends his call wrong, and I call what he sent. If he doesn't correct it, who gets dinged? I think I do, even though I didn't make the m
