Quack's
On this one I have to agree with Bill, I'm not purfect in my typing and
also not purfect in my copy. Under DXpedition conditions I fully feel
that if a call is off by one letter or 5 minutes in the log there has
to be a problem on 1 end or the other. Anyone can have the clock off by
5 or 10 minutes, AT which point is a valid contact now no longer good.
I will never have this for a problem becauz I don't have a DXCC Toilet
paper roll for plans to persue one. If a call is off by one letter in
the Expedition log by 1 letter it still is a good call in My book.
