[CQ-Contest] [FCG] CQ WW Rules and SCP

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

So is going through your log AFTER THE CONTEST, looking for obvious  typos 
like KlABC instead of K1ABC or GOABC instead of G0ABC against the  rules?

If CP or  SCP logs the call incorrectly and I want to change it then I

unless  I do it at that instant?  It seems a little ridiculous not to be 
able  
to change an
incorrect exchange later so long as I'm using MY DATA and  correcting data 
that was received from another source.  To correct  based on data received 
from
another source after the fact should  obviously not be permitted.   Many 
many 
US Stations are in zones  not coincidental with the default zone used in 
logging
programs and  don't appear in CP and sometimes CP is wrong - people move. 
This is a  problem unique to stations in the USA and only if you're 
operating
from a  DX location.

Some might disagree  on this, but the text in the change is as follows:

Correction of LOGGED  call signs by using any database, recordings, email 
or 
other methods of  confirming QSOs after the contest is not allowed. All 
logging must be  performed in real time (emphasis added).

When you are working stations  and make use of SCP, the contact has not 
been 
LOGGED yet. I read the  change to prohibit after the fact changes. As SCP 
is 
used before the  contact is logged, I do not believe they prohibited SCP 
with 
this  change.
