[CQ-Contest] Another logging ethics query

[Richard L. King]

The only way to avoid this problem is for the S/P guy to send your 
call when he comes back and gives you his exchange. It is simple 
enough to do in CT or Writelog (and probably other software) by just 
hitting the INSERT key instead of F2. The INSERT key will send the 
other station's call plus the exchange rather than only the exchange.

I think the burden of proof is on the S/P station to confirm that he 
is working you and not the other guy next to you in frequency.

For that reason, if I am pretty sure he didn't work me, the QSO would 
be removed. This is the S/P station's fault and not your fault.
