3) Changing of log after a QSO is completed - I fear this restriction
is overkill. To require a recording of the contest but then saying you
can't use it to correct a log seems a bit ridiculous. This assumes that
someone (certainly not me) is devoted enough to go back and
listen to the whole log just to pick up a few changes. But, this is an
extreme case. What about realizing that the guy who sent you "V44HS" meant
to send "V44HH" but you don't pick up the error until you have worked V44HH,
not V44HS, on three other bands. Is it cheating to make that change "after
the QSO is completed"? What about the fat fingered typo that you don't see
until you print out a list of QSOs and see that V44HHH is really V44HH?
What about the case where the op on the mult rig yells out "That was V44HH,
not V44HS" but you have just hit Enter? How much log massaging can one do
in the time allowed being the end of the contest and log submission? Don't
we allow the use of SuperCheckPartial before the QSO is completed? What if
one's PC is slow and you don't get the answer until after hitting enter?
Why not just prohibit "extensive" log editing and leave the definition up to
the committee?
Rule IX, 10. would not allow you to change that V44HS QSO to V44HH
later. This is not a new rule.
"Call signs logged must be the same as those exchanged over the air by
the entrants during the QSO."
