Good morning Dallas,

For many years CT had a recommendation in the user guide:
If you wish to non-score a QSO you can replace the bad call
with your own call <W3PP>. There is a FIXMINE or RMDUPES
utility to remove these QSOs if you wish.
But in a serial number contest, that destroys the accuracy of the
serial number sequence, so it is better to leave these in the log.
  
Would this answer your question?

Hope to work you next weeekend for the Delaware multipler
in the ARRL 10M!
