The log owner would be identified, as the convention is CALLSIGN.LOG Why would the header matter? QTH info?? That's public knowledge. I'd like the OVERALL data for a particular station, not what stat
Hi David Lets put it this way: in car racing, they use restricter plates in the engine, carefully measure the cars for exact dimensions, and on and on to ensure a level playing field for all contesta

Oh, so since the the technology for QSO analysis, skimmer, and spot analysis is readily available, there are no secrets and the argument re: "I keep my log prviate so as to not alert the competition"
Hi Dick - I guess I wasn't clear - if only one station in a given cross-checked QSO was a member of LOTW, then the QSO would go into that station's file just like a QSO with a non-LOTW-member that he
What data in a log causes any concern about anyone's privacy? QSO data? Who you worked is private? Because of what? I'm sorry, I don't see anything possible in any log that is of any privacy concern

Doing so, however, would defeat one of the main reasons for open logs in the first place, ensuring a fair log adjudication process. Not ten days ago, on this very reflector, some specific examples we
The NASCAR analogy won't fit into radio contesting however. All the competitors in that sport are somewhere near the same skill level. I was able to enter my first contest along with some of the best
uh...it wouldn't take much to figure out the random ID number for a callsign. 1) re-compute the claimed score, compare against the 3830 posting. 2) compare QSOs with your own log. 73, -KR- K6TD _____
Now, Geoff may feel differently, but if I were him, I don't think I would want my logs opened to my biggest competitor so they can gain all of the information and experience it has taken me years to
By bringing up NASCAR, I was not trying to have everyone use the same radios/antennas/compete on a level playing field. That is what the WRTC is for. Rather, I wanted to point out that there is no "s
I think you misread my post. I support the disclosure of logs. And am pleased the CQWW committee has resisted the undertoned efforts of the ARRL to squelch the opening of logs through the auspices of
Richard, Hans, etc.... First of all, you do not keep your log private. If you kept it private, you would not submit it to the contest committee, you'd simply keep it to yourself, and claim victory am
privacy I agree, however, on the same token, what data in "my" log is public? What about any notes I wrote about you? (certainly not during a contest...LOL) A QSO between you and I is, between you a

In that vein, I believe that participant logs ought to be a private transaction between the participant and the sponsor, and that "fair use" of the log should not extend beyond that needed to score
Hans, K0HB, replied: No need to QRX, because the same 'tortured analogy' applies to NON-COMMERCIAL youth sports like Little League, Soccer, HS Football, etc. (although it's all BEEEEG Business and lo
You are forgetting about unlicensed members of the 'public' (SWL's), which then makes 'amateur' contesting a 'public' performance venue (at least SSB Contests) whether anyone likes it or not. What is
I have always been in favor of open logs. But this was the one thing that I was somewhat worried about - but so far over the last year this has been a non-issue with the release of the CQ WW logs. I
Umm...Sorry, but Skimmer has pretty much invalidated that. Every single "secret" path, hidden skew opening, and long path route is now or will soon be fully open to exploitation and discovery because
