Now there is a conflict between the rules. On the air, the station sent
"V44HH". Under scenario 1, I copied it as V44HS but it is on my recording
as "V44HH". I should change it to what was sent but I can't because the QSO
is completed. Now, scenario 2, the station sent "V44HH"; I copied it as
"V44HH" but hit "J" key rather than the "H" key so I typed "V44HJ" Clearly
it is a typo and I should change it to match what was sent and what I
copied but, again, I cannot because the QSO is over.
How did I realize the call should be "V44HH"? I worked him on other bands
and realized I copied it wrong. Can I change it during the contest? How
about after it is over?
Scenario 2, I read in NG3K list that V44HH was going to be on so I knew I
miscopied/misspelled the call. If I read the list before the QSO is over,
I can change it, right? How about after I hit enter but before the end of
the contest? How about after the contest?
If SCP is banned, how about QRZ DX or NG3K lists published before the
contest?
I haven't done the work but how many times does an assisted station outscore
an unassisted one, assuming same caliber of op, station, etc.? My guess is
that the highest scores are compiled by unassisted stations because they run
more and pick up mults as they go or on a second radio. SO let's just
eliminate single op, unassisted and let everyone do what they want? This
just means fewer categories and less awards so the sponsor should be happy.
It eliminates all this checking for using aids, SCP, lists, etc.

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."
