[CQ-Contest] When it's over, it's over (again)

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I had to X out my contact with ZL7G as I gave him a 599 and got a 599 
but I didn't want to write it down to lose it so it went in the log with 
bogus received info...mine.

Sadly my ears are not very good anymore and I suspect I have way too 
many copying errors on numbers.   We will see.

Other than correcting from notes that I took, I never look for errors.  
I agree that typos are part of the experience.

After J6M I ran the sh5 routine and had it look for errors.  Some of 
them were pretty silly but no corrections were made to the submitted log.
