One of the frustrating things I have experienced working as a log checker for a number of contests is how late some of the competitive logs are submitted. There are always some logs - and typically t
Tree, I think you're being far too lenient. Silly me, I have always expected that if I don't make the deadline I'd better have a darned good reason why not, before asking for an exception. Why should
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 am all for publishing the date the log was received. I think it is a great idea! There are very few places in the world where there is no internet access. C'mon folks get those logs in. I would sup
Hi Mike I do like the idea of bonus points for early submissions. When its a tight race, every little bit helps. However, I do take issue with having everyone use the same logging software. We do hav
I think including the date the log is received in the results is a great idea. No judgment, just more data. Mark, N5OT _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Cont

I wonder how many paper logs are still submitted? Ah, but that is one of the problems Tom. Cabrillo is A standard. But not THE standard. I seem to recall a lot of shouting when Cabrillo was announced
Hi Tree, My name is Jim and I'm a chronic barely-make-the-deadline guy in most things. Chorus - "Hi Jim" However, I usually don't post my score to 3830 until the same time I submit the log. Why am I
I think it may depend on the contest Mike. I know quite a few guys who run mobile in the Pa QSO Party, and very few have a laptop in the vehicle. Quite a few used to just xerox, er, photocopy their h
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
Creating A standard in not easy. That said, I think it is safe to say at this point that Cabrillo is THE standard that everyone uses (or could easily adopt as THE standard). I have no doubt there was
I have not read this entire thread, so pls no one take any offense to what I am about to say, however, I dont understand why there would be any delay in submitting logs in the times we live in. In th
Hi Mark, in 2007 we have such a experience in Russian RTTY Cup Contest There was web site which show in real time the date of each log arrived. What is interesting to note that the 3 logs of first 5

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 see that as reasonable for someone in your situation what with the travel ect. Its just to those who dont have the load a station like yours would have (DX) or a work load like yours and are simply
