No, I'm sorry. It says "other methods of confirming QSOs" NOT "other
methods". Here:
1. I type in everything and hit enter
2. One nanosecond later I notice something is wrong.
3. I do what I need to do to transmit a correction if necessary (not always
necessary), to meet the log what you transmit rule.
4. Because I am in a run, and messing with the editing in my logger takes
me away from the run, I scribble the correction on a notepad I keep for the
purpose.
5. After the contest I edit in all the scribbled corrections.
There is nothing in this process that exhibits an "other method of
confirming the QSO". 73 jeff wk6i
