[WriteLog] Question on location of a station

[Jerry Flanders]

Concerning the problem caused by the tx station:

Doesn't sound simple to me - I don't expect the hundreds (thousands?) 
of stations that worked the contest to comb through their logs 
looking for errors made by the tx station. Thousands of man-hours 
spent looking for POSSIBLE errors?

Those of us on this list know of this error. But what of other errors 
not yet reported? Where does it stop?

I say I am not allowed to change the guys call - I am only allowed to 
unclaim it when I report IF I KNOW OF IT. I/you are not required to 
verify every call in my/your log.

Lighten up, guys. A good robot can fix this. You may not know how to 
fix the robot, but I would bet other guys do.
