Look at the last year SSB results. UA9XL claimed the multiplier of
722(impossible even with 4000 qso) with only 276 QSO made and no log
checker noticed that. In fact I doubt all logs are carefully checked. They
probably only check the winners and runner up.

No :) In fact QTC is usually given out faster then QSO and therefore I
usually give QTC only to those who can copy very well. I know them, they are
the same year after year. Try to develop the technique that will enable you
to copy at any speed otherwise you will not be given QTC by regulars. That
is contest...

The speed is controlled by a sending op not by the software.

You can also record it onto the tape and type it in afterwards.
