Right you are Stu. In fact, in 1997 VK0IR from Heard Island used ham radio satellites to relay the logs to me which I put up on our website within hours of the QSOs.
Back then I don't seem to recall the angst when a call wasn't found in the log, people just worked them again. Maybe we make it too easy?
