What?
Why?
If you want to check logs than please setup an address to receive
logs at - do not include them in your 3830 posting. I am sure you
could figure out a better way for people to check their work.
There are many reasons why this is a bad idea.
- It takes up more storage space (this is a small reason)
- It makes it much harder to search the 3830 list in the future
since now if I search for a callsign I will not just get their posts
I will get all the logs they show up in - it will make searching almost
usless over time. (big reason)
And I am sure once I wake up fully I can voice a few more reasons
why I do not like the logs posted into the 3830 postings.
So, speaking as one of the admins for contesting.com - please do not
post your logs as part of your 3830 postings.
Thank you.
