About 30 QSOs into my Saturday night start I noticed that the UTC in my
computer was off by an hour (probably because I had set it from my
about-50-yr-old Numechron, which I likely set wrong after one of our recent
power outages). No problem to fix the log real time -- I used the logging
software's (CT) edit function to change the times of those first QSOs.
BUT... I had already sent two or three QTCs with the wrong times.
If I submit my Cabrillo log, which now has the correct times, will the guys
who received those QTCs get dinged?
If I un-fix those times in my Cabrillo log, will that make it OK for the
QTC receivers, but will I get dinged for wrong QSO times (maybe even NIL)?
Should I just not submit the log? My effort/score is small enough that I
won't feel a loss, but maybe I should be in the log-checkingdata base.
(BTW, I did do one log correction after the contest. I worked "C8TEM", who
was acting like he was in Europe. Later, I heard IC8TEM calling CQ,
sending his call more than once. His VOX was cutting off the first few
bits. Aha! I made a note on a scrap of paper: "C8TEM is IC8TEM". And I
fixed it in the CT log after the contest.)
