Hamradio and contesting is a hobby, not a life. Comparing contest logs
with account balances and other private things is a bit exaggerating.
If the contest sponsor decides to publish the logs and puts that in the
rules, nobody can complain as by sending in a log one agrees to the
sponsor's rules.
Dont think much station will stop contesting for this.
