The preview of revisions is here:

The rule says no “Correction” of logged entries. Converting the log to another 
format isn’t the same as correcting the log. Heck, when you tell the log 
program to output the log in Cabrillo format, it does a conversion from its 
internal format. Converting from paper to electronic is similar, though you are 
making additions. IMHO, additional entries are not the same as corrections to 
existing entries. So I think you would be OK entering the paper portion of your 
log after the contest, as long as you don’t make any corrections to the paper 
or electronic log. Again, it’s not a change in the information, just a format 
conversion.

 

If you were worried about it, you could print off the electronic log, add the 
paper log pages, and mail them to CQ. The rules say they still accept paper 
logs.

Fair enough. I must not be looking at the right draft. But...

3.       Absolutely no editing of the log after the contest is over or the 
claimed number of operating hours has been reached

So let's say, for what ever reason, I lose my computer for half an hour. I 
continue on paper - I am running after all and don't care about dupes. I get my 
computer back, continue computer logging, and at 2400z the contest ends.

 

So does typing in the paper log after the contest ends constitute editing or 
merging? Is merging even permitted?
