I'll bet you're not so rigid that you don't use SCP, or that you don't
use the logger to send your CW, or let the logger fill in the exchange,
or let the logger dupe for you.

In the old days, the code or rule for telegraphers was COPY WHAT IS SENT.
That included not changing msg text regardless of whatever the op may know

To me, that is the origin of contesting... to copy what is sent. If the op
makes a mistake copying, too bad for the score; his mistake should show up
and he should suffer for it.
Remember when even hams were prevented by law from divulging any info
copied from the radio? It gave news guys with scanners fits, too.
73 from rigid old op..............
