Absolutely! I probably loose a lot of time on fills during contests, but
I'm proud of my 0.8% error rate in this year's CW SS (5 busted calls, 6 exch
errors out of 1300+) and I can say without hesitation that I did NO log
checking following the contest. Now that ARRL is doing significant log
checking, I'm looking forward to comparing the standings posted on 3830 to the
results in QST. I knew I'd been saving those "final" 3830 compilations
for some reason. :-)
