[CQ-Contest] self help during contest

[K0HB]

If it happens in "real time/heat of battle" --- ie., two guys at a M/M 
listening in parallel headsets and "deciding" seems perfectly acceptable to 
me.

Flagging the QSO for later leisurely playback, review, and correction 
(inside or outside the contest period)  is neither reasonable, 
sportsmanlike, nor acceptable.
