Bob, the actual contest, ie exchanging QSOs, might be over but it is intelligent amd mncessary to chcek through the log to corerct ant tyopos, as you 
can see by this incirrected email. Back in the days of paper logs we positevly encouraged entrants to rewrite their logs top amke sure they doidn't 
lose points uncesarily. Paper and pencil have ben replaced by a keyborad and it is wrong to assume taht someone who was adept and writing are equally 
adept at typing.
 
I will continue to put my contest log ointo Excel when convenient and to do various sorst and cahecks. I am sure you wouldn't expaect me to always 
send emnails or write reporst etc like this one?
