I thought I'd take this to a topic I haven't seen here before. Over time, I have found that users are passionate - to say the least - about the software they use for contesting. In truth, different s

As opposed to the philosophical discussion of the public/secret log issue, just how are these public logs to be accessed? Does the sponsor have to put them on line and allow downloading to all? And f
Are you willing to pay for that curiosity? Good Lord. I cannot understand why anyone would want to check the log checkers. Become a log checker if you want to check logs. Do some good for the contest
Can I have an Amen? Amen.. We don't want to homogenize contests. There was a 4 land party once. Recently there was a Mid-Altantic QSO party that lasted a couple years, then sadly it folded. There are
I tend to be fairly lenient. Logs do get lost in both email and snail mail, usually a couple every year. I'm not there to find excuses to disqualify people. I just need a person to let me know, a rea
What you need to do is get some sample cabrillo logs from as many different programs as you can before starting. When I bring a log in to work on it, the field order is different from log to log. So
Seems like he is exercising his right to do as he wishes. There is nothing to prevent a person from operating in a contest. Log submissions are completely optional. You cannot be DQ'd from something
Let's not forget that the first part of the "public spectacle" was the public logs in the first place. Seriously, you just can't have it both ways, where you demand public logs as a form of ensuring
Respectfully, another option is to not work the contest at all. Presumably that wouldn't be so good either. Point of reference. In the contest I adjudicate, looking at the logs, about twice as many p
hehe, sounds a bit like my XYL. She considers being a half hour early for something a half hour late. There are many reasons beside massaging the data. I've had people who just plain forgot to send i
I have no idea why anyone would be afraid of being sued. Fact is, I can disqualify anyone who I don't like, or if their name is Sam, or anyone with an AA prefix to their callsign. I can do that ya'kn
Hear, Hear! I had kindly people who put up with my lame early attempts. As I recall, the first taste of radiosport was at Field day. They brought me through in stages, from having me observe for a ha
What I would like is a text file with spaces or comma delimiters, that has the expected field in the expected place, with standardized sections for which the logging program cannot enter any ms-spell
I was once told by a policeman that the way to be alerted to the possibility of a drunk driver was if someone was driving well over the speed limit, well under the speed limit, or at the speed limit
While logs and police issues might be an interesting if flawed analogy, I just gotta say it..... Guys and gals, we really should ease up the paranoia business. If a log submitted near the deadline da
Start Tree quote End Tree quote. Those are surely better subjects. 1. Should log deadlines be moved up? It doesn't matter too much to me. There will still be people sending in logs at the deadline -
We want to get more contesters, both casual and serious. Getting more logs is always a good thing. I think Kelly might have meant "hard core contesters alone" instead of just "contesters alone". Roug
(re the number of Ops who don't send logs) I'd expect the number would be a fair bit higher. Our party has a fair number of county hunters, so those are people who are more interested in a QSL card t
This is a good place to jump in with what I see as the essence of the issue. We get many points of view, but in the end, it boils down to that those who are very interested in open and published logs
