Yea, but no way for you to mark which QSO is 0 point, not to be counted. Claimed score is for ???
If M/S goofs and makes illegal QSO because of the timing rule, they just take it out of the log and me/you get hit and UNJUSTLY penalized. Some say so what, everybody does get. But when you are QRP, make dozen QSOs and have quarter of them taken away and possible record, it HURTS like hell. (not really, it only a goofy hobby :-)
