[UK-CONTEST] RSGB LOG INPUT

[Andy Chadwick]

Hi Don,
I don't know about the contest checking software. In my view callsigns
should always be logged
as sent. This includes people signing /QRP /T /A /5  whatever.

I know that some ops prefer to log a call with their own "interpretation"
(ie, putting the /TK as TK/  or not
logging the /QRP. However, it is the sending station who determines their
actual call sent
not the receiving operator, No matter how wrong the receiving operator might
think it is!

If the contest checking software can't handle it, then perhaps it can be
updated to recognise the
actual calls sent. Otherwise we might have the tail wagging the dog :-)

Hope you won't lose the mult by submitting the log with the call as sent!

73,

Andy ZC4VJ
