We messed up our exchange (forgot about the "new" M PREC), so we sent B
instead of M for the first 10 QSO's.  I asked N1ND what we should do
about the log, and he wrote ...

"Your log should show what you actually sent on each QSO line.  If you 
change it, it would cost the other station a QSO as a bust.  Make sure 
the header of your log file shows the category correctly and you will 
be ok."

In other words, if you have to change something, make sure the previous
QSO's show the "old" exchange ... and QSO's after the change show the
"new" exchange.

It sounds like as long as the log checking software can match things up,
no one will get penalized.

You're in good company not picking up on all of the details of the 12
hour rule.

Here's the tail end of a long e-mail exchange I had with another
member of the
list:

Color me... embarassed!

I'm REALLY easy to confuse!

>The idea is that everyone starts over with a fresh dupe sheet at the
15

Ohh... EVERYONE!!! Even the 24-hour guys... this would make a LOT more
sense... I completely MISSED that reference before.

Thanks, pal.
