I'm quite satisfied with TR not letting me log the QSO as long as there is a ? in the 
call. Do you want to trade the risk of a busted call for that tiny rate increase?

I think KL7RA has the right solution with the @? in an F-key (the think-I-got-it-but-
not-sure-about-your-call-key). Then you will need a ? in the call window only when 
you definitely miss a character, and then you should not be able to log.
