[WWYC] Post contest

[David Mueller]

First of all, Franki is correct.  I got a little hot in my initial reply, and 
I shouldn't have.  I had to say goodbye to my wife and two sons this morning 
and I won't be home for 60 days including the holidays, so emotions are 
running a little high right now :)  For that I apologize to Koen and the 
other members of this list.

The powers-that-be who check logs have developed into their software an 
algorithm which flags the logs of possible packet cheaters.  This was 
apparent last year when many SOAB entries were reclassified as assisted.  The 
KW problem is another matter.  The best way to correct this is by peer 
pressure I guess.

Ely asked "what is OK to correct after the contest?".  This has been debated 
over and over again in CQ-Contest.  Each person seems to have their own idea 
of what is OK.  I think the general concencious is that changes can be made 
after the fact for notes taken during the contest.  Don't feel bad about 
correcting your M/M partner.  He'll be better in the long run of you correct 
him.  Lets say you forget to swap bands on your software, and you log a large 
number of people on the wrong band.  Make a reminder, and change it after the 
fact.  Thats OK in my book.  But to record the contest and make changes after 
by listening to the tape is wrong.  I think there needs to be mention of this 
in the contest rules so it is definite.  Usually the need to make any 
corrections after the fact is minimal.
