I have no problem with sharing my logs with anyone and have done so 
several times, for what it's worth.

Almost all my contest operating on VHF+ has been as a QRP portable.  
Sometimes I get lucky and win my section or division because no one else 
entered or sent their logs in from a Single-Op Portable operation.  I 
don't have any "strategies" to win that would be given away by my logs or 
otherwise, except to find the best site I can to operate from.
