So is going through your log AFTER THE CONTEST, looking for obvious typos like KlABC instead of K1ABC or GOABC instead of G0ABC against the rules? K4XS In a message dated 6/17/2013 3:36:01 P.M. Coord
I am curious how these scenarios are being read into rules that say nothing about correcting typos or using SCP? "Check Partial" or "Super Check Partial" doesn't ever "log" anything. The operator cho

No, that is perfectly legit. Your not using external data such as QRZ or a DX cluster to verify callsigns, your just correcting a typo. Nothing wrong with that. As for the zone "problem" regarding U.

I'm having a slight issue with one thing you've written Bob. You wrote that it is "not OK to go back and correct this after the fact." This seems at odds with what I have heard stations say for years
Rich, Thanks for bringing this up and with the specifics you mention. These are some very subtle and fine points, but I think the underlying foundational issues are important to understand. In the ca
Why not simply make the WRTC rule the standard for CQWW (for that matter, for all contests)? 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blog
SCP and CP don't "log" anything. The operator logs the QSO when he/she presses the Enter key. 73, Steve, N2IC If CP or SCP logs the call incorrectly and I want to change it then I can't unless I do i
In CQWW, whether you can change the call depends on whether you sent the other station's callsign - basically whether you were running. See XII 2) That implied you can't correct an exchange error, b
My understanding is the examples you are using are fine to correct the log, since it is based on information *transmitted over the air*. What is not OK is to use external data (not passed over the ai
But, the rule says... X II 2. All sent and received exchanges are to be logged. In addition to the number exchange, the call sign sent by an entrant during a completed exchange, must be logged as sen
If a contest ends at 2359Z, isn't anything you do to your log after that outside the time boundary of the contest? -- JC K1TN _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list C
How about people who use specially designed programs that immediately check all the dx sites to see if this call is actually on, and auto correct ? How will you stop that? Joe, w6vnr --Original Messa

Who is to ever know you changed the call from HG108DX to HG109DX? They are not going to listen to the SDR recordings unless there is something fishy with your log. Of course, not being able to get ca
Who is doing that and with what programs, Joe? --Original Message-- From: CQ-Contest [mailto:cq-contest-bounces@contesting.com] On Behalf Of somata90924@mypacks.net Sent: Monday, June 17, 2013 11:44
It could be reasonably argued that the competition is about what you do on the air, and the log is simply the record of what you did on the air. Is the correction issue any different for multiop stat
We (contesting) are in the midst of a transition. When electronic logs enabled computer checking, it was eye opening to see all of the errors in logs. UBN reports showed everything in graphic detail.
I've been following this latest thread by the cq-contest-lawyers with my usual disdain. I'd like to short circuit the thread, and suggest that there are two logical end-points we can arrive at which
This appears to support what I have always considered an acceptable form of log washing -- namely that if you KNOW you worked the guy correctly and that an error in the log is typographical in nature
Rules are very difficult to write down so precisely that no one can find loopholes. So in most sporting contests, there's some kind of impartial third-party to make the final decision - referee, umpi
