Barry, you are absolutely right. The higher the incidence of log
submissions, even thin logs like mine, the more complete a picture the
sponsor has of the participation and the more accurately he can score the
logs, catch busted calls, inaccurate exchanges, NIL's, rule violations, and
all the other detail that the sponsor needs for fairly and accurately
managing the contest.
So I whole-heartedly agree that every participant, even non-competitors,
should submit their log for the legitimate needs of the contest sponsor.
I do not agree, however, that my logs ought to be publicly released for
non-sponsor use such as QSO-mining, building of crutch-databases for use by
other contesters, or strategy/tactic evaluation by other contesters. Those
are NOT legitimate needs of the contest sponsor.
73, de Hans, K0HB
