It is my choice to use a computer to log with and I need to be proficient in 
the use of my tools. I do not see keyboarding errors as an excuse for 
mislogging a contact. The result at the end of the contest is the log in the 
computer. That IS my log...including the mistyped characters. It also includes 
notes I make to myself to correct errors I might catch along the way.
 
The reason I allow errors to enter the log needs to be addressed individually 
and corrected. This can do nothing but help my score. The UBN reports are a 
great help in that quest.
