And we think the guys who write the logging programs have it tough. Ha.
Contesting has come a long way, but the fact remains we are still
supposed to log what we hear and not what any device is suggesting might
be the correct information. They're tools not surrogates, and they can
put you at the mercy of mistakes made by other organizations. I don't
think anybody ever got points off for writing down what the other guy sent.
Excellent work as always, Tim. Thank you for these great maps!
