The concept of CHECKLOG has existed for many years.  It is a log that is 
submitted to help the log checking process, but the entrant does not want their 
score to be included in the results.

As I have learned, Checklogs can be used for nefarious purposes. In particular, there is a Swedish operator who works many people in the contest, but then deletes calls from his log if he does not think you are a good QSLer. This results in the deleted stations getting NIL's in their logs (and the associated penalties), while the Swedish stations' log remains completely hidden. Checklogs have not been included in the database of open logs.

Frankly, I think Checklogs should be eliminated. Either send in your log for scoring, or don't send in a log at all.
