And therefore you LIKE being THE REASON THE WRONG STATION WON THE CONTEST?

Because his error in copying your exchange, that would have been caught
in the log checking and would have reduced his final score, was not
detected, because you didn't send in your log as a CheckLog???.

That's not old-fashioned, that's just wrong.

Pete, I think the innovators of Skimmer and RBN and the like have mucked up
my beloved ham radio contesting so far that I, formerly an avid contester
and high scorer, have a new strategy.

I work my favorite contests as SO, AB or SB, HP, not assisted, as usual with
all the energy my old body delivers, BUT I DO NOT SEND IN A LOG.  I
recommend others in my situation do the same.
1.  to send in a log, in one way, means I want to enter a competition, and
with so many stacks (ant. or otherwise) against me, it is no longer a
competition for me.
2. to send in a log also in a small way perpetuates the mess as it has
evolved, and I do not like contributing to messes.

Sign me old-fashioned, 73
