Just for curiosity, I would like to have the reflectors opinion of just how strict computer log checking should be. In the ARRL 10 meter contest in December 2002 I operated from the Philippines. My t

Issue 1. This doesn't sound right... I thought computer log checking takes out most of this human element (each having his own process). Issue 2. Not being able to equate DU1/<call> with <call>/DU1 s

I don't believe it should be up to the log checking to know whether someone sent DU1/ or /DU1. What if changes from QSO to QSO? Sure the log checking can "guess" much like in SS where it has to "gues

There were over 3,000 logs submitted in the ARRL 10 Meter Contest, 2002. If everyone worked everyone else, that would be 9,000,000 log entries. That didn't happen, but then again, not everyone sends

Have to disagree with Mike on this. DU1/ and /DU1 are not identical calls and would not show as a dupe. And who would be crazy enough to change his call during a contest? Yes there is. You're suppose
