[CQ-Contest] Post contest review, Opinions?

[Bob Naumann - N5NJ]

Oh boy.  This may get N7BG or N2AA to dust off their keyboards again.

In my personal opinion;

You can scan your log and if you find typos or things you know are
wrong, without consulting any other reference material of any type
(including recordings of your operation) then it's OK to fix them
before sending your log in.  If you can determine that something is
wrong all by yourself, then there's no problem.

Asking on the local contest club repeater or packetcluster or Internet
to check some of the callsigns is not OK.  Calling your friend on the
phone to ask him questions about log data is not OK.  Looking at last
year's log, the callbook, or contesting.com  is not OK.  Anything
other than your own brain's capacity used to correct your log after
the contest is not OK.

This is my personal opinion.

73,
Bob N5NJ
