Oh definitely. You're supposed to record the time the other guy sent.  Beyond the mechanics of how a specific time stamp gets "locked onto" a QSO before it is sent to you, there is no guarantee that your clock and his clock are synchronized. Even if you assume they are, I often found differences of one minute for QSOs that occurred near the top of a minute. In N1MM terms, if I understand them, I'm running and send my exchange at 00:01:58; the other guy records it in his log and sends his exchange at 00:02:03.

"For 502 Q I had to repeat my time on 5 times"

Without going into a lot of detail, I remain completely clueless as to there
is ever a request for the time, when it is totally legible on the screen?
And it's not necessary to look in the "received" message, to see it!
