 Mr. Bill went to W5WMU for the CW Sprint.  I went to K2UA/5.  We were really
 neck and neck right to the tape.  Thought the gang might like to see some
 details of this close one:

 During the contest:

 00:59z  K5GN  94/W5WMU  89   (I'm thinking big things, here.)
 02:09z  K5GN 187/W5WMU 188   (Uh, oh, where did I go wrong?)
 02:53z  K5GN 246/W5WMU 248   (Yikes, he'll eat me up on 80])

 Turns out Billy did not have the multipliers to overcome the difference at
 the end.

 K5GA: 331x41=13571 #7?

Subject: Contest QSLing
Message-ID: <9401077606.AA760671078@atlas.ccmail.pactel.com>

          All this talk is interesting, this comes from a person who
          hates QSLing.  I do not collect QSLs, but I do know that I
          go around the world to be DX, and that comes with a price.
          That price is that I will send QSLs to all that send one to
          me, postage or not.

          One way I try to get around the duties of contest QSLing is
          that I tend to operate contests from an existing station,
          that has existing QSL routes.  I gladly make up QSLs for the
          operation.  In fact, I am in the process of making nice
          color QSLs for the 4M5I operation in the CQ WW CW.

          Having the ARRL use logs sounds great on the surface, again
          from one who hates to QSL.  BUT.  But I think I can say for
          lots of people, that having QSLs up on the wall is kinda
          nice.  One often makes lots of rare DX QSO's during a
          contest, and if I collected QSLs, I would want that QSL on
          the wall.  No way that would happen now.

          Having the ARRL serve as the QSl manager may be the death to
          your verification at all.  I get a few cards that for some
          reason, I copied wrong (we all make SOME mistakes).  I
          always give the person looking for a QSL the benefit of the
          doubt.  If I have WM2K in the log, but the guy sends me a
          card for WM2N, I send the card.  Should the ARRL have to
          make those judgements?  I suspect they would be forced to
          use the electronic log as fact.  No benifits of the doubt.

          How many of these people who QSl can't seem to tell time?
          Plus or minus a few minutes is acceptable, but sometimes
          thier off by hours, days, or some unkown time that has no
          relation to anything.  Again, should the ARRL have to make
          the decision on which one of these people gets the
          confirmation or not?  I put QSLs who are "NIL" on the
          bottwom of the pile, but always get to them some day.  It
          often takes a lot of time to figure out what's up. If the
          ARRL has to do this, forget your QSL.

          Having a person, or QSl manager do you logs has a lot of
          advantages over eletronic processing at the ARRL - you get
          the personal touch of QSLing.  I persoally would love to see
          the ARRL handle my QSL verification, but for those who fit
          in any of the above catagories, I suspect you will be out of
          luck in getting the benefit of the doubt.

 The primary goal is to get as many *logs* submitted as possible.

 Getting the electronic ones is a secondary goal, related to
 improving checking of the results.

 Question for CQ and ARRL:
 fztrqHow many logs (fraction of total) does the sponsoring
 fztrqorganization receive which are printed by a computer,
 fztrqbut no disk accompanies the entry?  How many logs
 fztrq(again, fraction of total) come on disk?

 I think the way to get more in electronically is to make
 electronic entries one of the following:

 fztrqCheaper (diskettes are lighter, if paper not required)
 fztrqEasier (paper can be a pain/internet is fast)
 fztrqMore valuable.

 More valuable might mean sending an sase with my diskette for a
 return of my diskette with feedback and statistics on it (e.g.,
 which contacts were found to be bad and why).  If the answer to
 the question above is significant, perhaps software could be
 developed by the sponsor to provide this benefit as an incentive.
