CQ has been improving their website over the years, making it even "more
excellent"! It is prudent to check their "Logs Received" webpage to make
certain you sent your log. But more important, it verifies CQ actually
RECEIVED it for processing! Last year, in a different contest, I
"thought" I sent in a 1.5-million point log. I had not! That oversight
was a huge disappointment in my contest experience last year. I've been
paying closer attention to the details this year.
Here is the link to check whether your log has been received:

Check it now!
On another note... I become curious regarding how many QSO partners in
my CQWW CW log had turned in their log. So I programmed an Excel
workbook to give me the answer. You can download a copy from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9wujl9yqoh7bkrr/hMXXUkGWSy
Look for the file named *Audit Calls Worked Log Analyzer - Rev
0.1.1.xls* While you are there, you might want to download the most
current CQWW DX Log Analyzer, which provides a variety of other
worksheets. I might merge these two tools together in the future.
The new tool is a simple three click process:
First, you import your Cabrillo log from the "Reports" worksheet using
the "Import Log 1" button.
Next, you move to the "Calls" worksheet where you use the "Click to
import CQ Web" button. That action will retrieve the entire submitted CW
logs list from the CQWW website. The list will be pasted into the
CQWW-CW worksheet.
The final step is to click the "Click to generate UNIQUE List" on the
"Calls" worksheet. This will create the list of unique call signs found
in your Cabrillo file. It will then show you which bands you worked each
station and indicate if your QSO partner has submitted their log by
setting their call sign in bold.
I just ran this tool with my log and found *6,312* CW logs have been
received by CQ, that I had *606* unique call signs in my log, and *458*
of those stations have already submitted their log. That is a 75% "Hit
rate".
Please let me know if you try this tool and find any problems.
