I'd consider the incorporation of handwritten notes which were GENERATED IN
THE HEAT OF THE BATTLE, and simply being transcribed into the log as an
acceptable "post contest" clean up.
This is a completely different activity from comparing your log to an audio
recording, and correcting mistakes.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] End of contest and rewriting log
OK this is a legitimate concern of mine.
KA1QQQ has a fast run of station going KX1XYZ calls
him......He gets loged as KA1XYX In logging next qso he notices
previous qso should of been KX1XYZ.. Many stations
are calling and he just jots down on paper #305 KX1XYZ latter
KZ6XXX calls and gets loged as zone 3.
Then operator says darn he said zone 5.
So jots down on paper #409 zone 5.
Latter station calls and gives him name John in hastes he gets
loged as Jim. Operator says darn he said John. operator jots down
on paper # 455 John. 23:59:59 contest is over. Operator looks at
a dozen or so paper notes and makes all corrections.
Is this OK ? You say no .... how about this at 23:45 operator
stops contest and makes all corrections in a few minutes,
now is it ok? I do not know it for a fact, but believe
this is a common practice. Would this be considered
rewriting or masageing your log ??
