People better get used to uniques and no log entries from very small
operations, especially in new tech plus operators on 10 meters. It's fun to
work a few contest stations but not being experienced or competitive they
often don't bother sending in logs.
I often tune around in contests and work a few friends on at the time but I
know that of the few I work all are going to send in logs so I will appear in
the database. I don't send in logs except for Sweepstakes.
I wonder why though, with the correct exchange information in the log of
K1TTT that the computer did not find it and assess the error as a blown call
at K1TTT.
The SS checking software pulled forward the correct exchange to determine
busted calls rather than a NIL.
Then again Dave was well pushed in deadline as he said many weeks ago.
I still think that all the new log checking procedures should run as a test
and officially the following year. At least there is time to overcome the
shock and time for the writers to debug the problems.
