OK, this is not good. I tend to not look too closely at an entry after I 
log it - checking BEFORE I press enter for the last time. On CW the 
problem is more obvious as the wrong call gets sent and usually the 
station calling picks it up as well.

So does this audit file help me any to find incorrect calls - will it 
contain edit sequences A to B and back to A which might indicate an issue?

Otherwise with 1000's of entries this is going to be a long job trying 
to verify our log!
