It would be very helpful to have a contest "Q" signal (maybe "QLQ" if it's 
not already in use) for "Logger QLF"...something short & sweet so no 
lengthy explanation is needed of why the QRX.  Option:  "QOQ" for "Operator 
QLF".

That's it...that's it... "Contest Mulligans" you purchase *before* the 
checkered flag drops.  They should be expensive, and proceeds used by the 
sponsors for recruiting new contesters (or hiring additional help to 
expedite the publishing of results :-)
