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

[kd4d at comcast.net]

But, the rule says...
X II
2. All sent and received exchanges are to be logged. In addition to the number exchange, the call sign sent by an entrant during a completed exchange, must be logged as sent by the entrant. All QSO exchanges must be logged upon QSO completion.

Calls MUST be logged as sent.  This doesn't say ANYTHING about information transmitted over the air.  Wouldn't apply to S&P unless you sent the other station's callsign for some reason.  The verbiage about exchanges is ambiguous.

My understanding is the examples you are using are fine to correct the
log, since it is based on information *transmitted over the air*.
What is not OK is to use external data (not passed over the air during
the contest) to correct your log.

So - if you make a note during the contest (information passed over
the air), its fine as a data source.  Any other data source is not OK.
