A progress report:

I was away on vacation 3 weeks in September.  I am finally starting to go 
through the logs and build the new database.  I have received 385 mail 
messages to process (slightly fewer than last year).  I am processing them 
in the order they were received.  So far, 59 logs are in the master file, 
which now contains about 8500 callsigns with 5 or more "hits".

If you have not sent me your contest logs yet, there is still time.  Please 
send them as an attachment to this E-mail address and not to any of the 
reflectors.

I hope to release the database by the weekend of 16/17-October - this is 2 
weeks before CQWW SSB.  If you are travelling and need the database sooner 
than that, send me a message and I'll try to send you an advance copy.
