[Trlog] burned by DST...

[Ron Rossi]

I have well over 50K QSO's laying there being ignored. It is a design 
flaw not to be able to remove known bad QSOs from a LOG. It is not my 
log book if it contains bad contacts. That is my single biggest beef 
with LoTW. I would make a bet that at least 10% of the entries in LoTW 
are known to be incorrect. Fewer errors occur today with many logging 
programs picking up the slack and automating the process, but they 
clearly are not uncommon.
