Why bother with submitting and checking logs? We'll have SCLoTW: "Skimmer
Contest Log of the World". One gigantic log of all the QSOs that took place
during the weekend. No rubber-clocking, no post-processing, no need to wait
30 days for log submissions, no need to enter paper logs, and official
results can be published almost instantly!
It lends a whole new meaning to "Big Brother is Watching". I can hardly
wait...
