Hi Bill,

Normally I would respond "log what was sent, regardless of whether it's 
correct or not".  This works in MOST contests, but CQWW RTTY log checking 
has some "quirks" which scores your log against what the other station was 
SUPPOSED to send, not what was actually sent.  You can read the reflector 
archives for more details.

Still, I would leave your log alone, and pray that the log checkers "do the 
right thing".
