[RTTY] Contest Hints

[Jeff Blaine]

Good point.  Is it necessary to edit the call?

Had a few /QRP guys here also.  I had it in my mind that the general rule is 
what goes in the log is exactly what was sent/copied.  Never thought about 
it with a call sign before till you mentioned it - I do the OHIO to OH (etc) 
translation (which is a violation of what I just stated).

My favorite was <Callsign>/QRP

There was at least 3 - probably more.  QRP is not a country, and means I
needed to edit their call before I could enter them in my log, etc.

Not sure why these folks thought it was a good idea.
