Quacks
I agree that it should be inexcusable to creative log QSO's, however How
much should the pentalty be for putting N6TR in the log as N6RT when
all the rest of the information is correct. Or getting the check as 87
instead 78 , (I know that neither are correct just used as an example.)
Obviously just a typo or getting old with the head bone. YES the Q
shouldn't count for points but PENTALTY ???
