Quite a bit of effort is expended here before returning somebody's request
as not-in-log.  Would much rather find that I made a mistake than send
something back.  I think it was W7NI who wrote some time ago in NCJ
about QSLs for UBNing, so in the end it's time well spent.  Other than
+/- hour/day searches, this is largely a manual exercise & I would
imagine not insignificant for expeditions like Bill mentions.

I find myself fixing mistakes in logs from 20 years ago - I'll probably
still be fixing mistakes 20 years from now.
