[CQ-Contest] post contest log corrections

[T A RUSSELL]

OK  Doug,  as a member of the CQ Contest Committee,
what would you do in the case of a DX station who either
missends his call or has a timing problem in his keying
and a leading dot is missing from the sent call.

Entrants correctly copy the missent call.  Your log checkers
find these aledgedly incorrect calls logged and KNOW his
correct call because he also submitted a log.  

WHO  DO   YOU   PENALIZE?

The SENDER who missent his own call, or the guys who
CORRECTLY copied was was sent over the air?

Would you penalize the guys who CHANGED the incorrectly sent
call and changed it since they knew what  it should have been?
