Check your log
Ok so you've worked hard before and during the contest. You're exhausted
and you have actually scored pretty good in this one, congrats! One
thing you should refrain from doing is to immediately send in your log.
How many ops actually send in their log minutes after the end of the
contest without double checking...too many.
By all means, upload to LoTW and submit your great score to 3830 but rest before you carefully double check your entire log. Mistakes happen all the time, don't be in a rush, the final scores may take months before they're published and there is no bonus for sending in your log ahead of time.
Is there something more boring to read through than a contest log? Probably not but someone HAS to do it and that someone if unfortunately YOU, so do it!! :-)
Remeber, I said : 'check your log' not 're-write' it! Contest rules are strict in this sense, you shall not modify call signs or exchange information or even less change the time of a qso!
What you're looking for are things like making sure the right category you entered is correctly stated in the Cabrillo header, as well as the correct contest name amongst other things. Get the picture?
