| Nice idea in theory, but this can cause huge problems if later in the
contest
| you call the station again because your logging software has not logged
the
| previous QSO.
|

It's not a HUGE problem! You just wasted a few seconds - forget it and move
on!

| It is the age old QSO B4 syndrome.

I've put an analysis of QSO B4 on my website (and also 'CW shaving' - trying
to save time by abbreviations) at www.dxing.co.uk , along with a few other
'tongue in cheek' comments :-)
