This one might be legitimate, but why wait till afterward??  I do it when
it's still fresh in my head (after a break, or between the next band
change).

..... Or just look up the correct spelling on QRZ.com???  Log checking
software is pretty advanced.  I might be wrong, but aren't some mistakes
errred on the side of "typos" anyway??? (depending on the contest)

In my experience, the cabrillo log checking robots would not compute this in
a data field and they would send you a "danger Will Robinson" reply
immediately.  You can then go and edit that line and resubmit.  Gab/notes
don't go into the cabrillo log anyway they?

When the contest time is up, it's up.  I press save and send it off.
