  - no call changes after the contest by log-checking
  - no call changes after the contest by paper notes on your desk, nor by
sound recordings
  - but you can use log-checking to remove calls (which also reduces
penalties).  Thus, this is not cheating,
    nor illegal, nor ... I can't remember all the nice words...

I brought my electronic log to ARRL in 1988 at 8" disc.  It was the first
one they ever received.  I was using online contesting for 4 years by then.
It took a lot more time to K3EST to accept electronic logs.  Few of my early
electronic scores were lost.  K3EST was long convincing me that it is much
easier to check logs on the paper!  From the answers above, I can see that
he hasn't learnt enough of computers and databases yet.

#3 example is the classic one which should NOT be permitted!
We are not supossed to be working on the behalf of Cabrillo checkers...
