[CQ-Contest] Jay Seven Oh Jay - so...are you changing your log?

This was actually tried once by a rather well-known contester in an ARRL 
contest (SS? DX? 10 M? I can't remember).

It didn't work. They still erred on exchanges and calls, and there was no 
way the ARRL Contest Branch had the time, resources, or interest in 
reviewing the recordings as claimed by this individual.

So the real secret is, and always has been to get it right, and if you're 
not sure, swallow your pride and ask for a fill. Sending in your log without 
checking it for errors first, though, is like doing the same thing with your 
income taxes.
