[CQ-Contest] What's the difference...

[Charles Harpole]

Yep, change everything to "correct" and clean your log.  Join the Big Boys'
methods, and use a whole club's ops logs to help, too.
I say, cheat all you can... it feels so good by the victory fire and around
the beers bragging.

Heck, get a computer program that listens to your contact, compares him to
a file full of all data, and that automatically plugs in ALL data for you.
In fact, take the wife to a nice dinner as your station fills up your log
for you.

Automate everything !   Then "enjoy" sitting around and watching it all
work for you.  73, Charly
