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])

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.
