[Dick Green WC1M]

The preview of revisions is here:

The rule says no “Correction” of logged entries. Converting the log to another format isn’t the same as correcting the log. Heck, when you tell the log program to output the log in Cabrillo format, it does a conversion from its internal format. Converting from paper to electronic is similar, though you are making additions. IMHO, additional entries are not the same as corrections to existing entries. So I think you would be OK entering the paper portion of your log after the contest, as long as you don’t make any corrections to the paper or electronic log. Again, it’s not a change in the information, just a format conversion.

 

If you were worried about it, you could print off the electronic log, add the paper log pages, and mail them to CQ. The rules say they still accept paper logs.

Fair enough. I must not be looking at the right draft. But...

So let's say, for what ever reason, I lose my computer for half an hour. I continue on paper - I am running after all and don't care about dupes. I get my computer back, continue computer logging, and at 2400z the contest ends.

 

So does typing in the paper log after the contest ends constitute editing or merging? Is merging even permitted?
