James,
It would be helpful if you would identify the source of this
information. I am the ARRL's log checker for the ARRL 160M and 10M
contests, and I can tell you for certain that at least for those two
contests, this is not true. I communicate with the log checkers for a
lot of other contest sand have never heard of such a requirement.
Geez, we can't even get everybody to submit their logs in GMT time, much
less with an accuracy of two minutes :-)
73,
