That's all OK Ward but the guy on the other end will not get credit for the 
correct QSO. Not right also.
 I chose to mark the QSO as unclaimed as that hopefully will deal with it 
correctly?

Point of clarification - the app does not really know anything about a 
particular call.  It just knows that the data it found in what it thought was a 
call sign field did not look like a call sign.  (You would get a similar error 
if the Sent Call data is bad or the RST isn't an
RST.)  It is up to the log submitter as to what to do about that.  If the QSO: 
line is just mis-formatted, rearranging the information to satisfy the Cabrillo 
format is perfectly OK.  If the call sign is busted (from typo, mis-copy, or 
whatever), my suggestion would be to remove the line entirely.  Same thing if 
the the section abbreviation is not valid.
