[CQ-Contest] Penalties??

[Rex J Maner]

Quack Must get In his .02 cents worth
I know that I lose points because I type the wrong call into the log.

eg.  I enter   w7why as w7hwy ,  now this is a phone contest so the
computer doesn't know that I have his call incorrect and I give it
correctly when i give the exchange information.    Should he recieve a
loss of QSO because I can't type.   I know that I got the information
correct , and he knows his has been copied correct.    I might even screw
up the exchange by copying his check as 62 when it should be 26, Real Old
Timer,  the problem is mine and  I'm getting the PENALTY that I deserve .
He loses the QSO and Others Points as well,  I was the only WWA that he
worked ( fat chance) he loses the mult because I couldn't get his call
correct when I typed it. DUH ???
