The log is correct. The typo was i my text. Norm's call is W1BYH

One annoying item I noticed was some NA stations (more than one) sending 
the time in the wrong format.  Instead of 599 059 2359 they were sending 
something like 599 59 23 23:59:59Z and one station was even sending the
Year. It reminded me of the long winded PSK-31 macros some use.

They need to read over the rules before the contest starts.

EXCHANGE: Messages will consist of:
(A) RST
(B) MESSAGE NUMBER. The number must be a three figure group and start with 001 for the first
contact made
(C) TIME GMT. A full four figure GMT time must be sent as part of each message. eg 0023
