Hi Bill and group,
Once again, I'm referring to log 'formatting' issues, not rule breaking.
>>>The issue of X-QSO or X QSO does generate an error for NAQP's that
>>>gets identified in the confirmation email and only the confirmation
>>>email. It is the participants responsibility to correct the error and
>>>resubmit. If the participant does not read the confirmation email or
>>>does not correct and resubmit the line will be ignored.
I think the way the NAQP system deal with the problem is good. Send the
confirmation email with any error description. If the log is not
corrected, the line is ignored.
>>>Basically it is the participants responsibility to submit a good log.
>>>To suggest the log checker or contest manager modify a log so that it
>>>is properly received opens up a whole new round of ethics.
This is what I meant when we were discussing ways to reduce the time it
takes for final results to be published. I was not taking ethics into
account, only the amount of time that contest managers could spend doing
something that should be the participant's responsibility.
>>> Now I will
>>>work with and advise the participant on how to get a good log
>>>submitted as sometimes the error messages can be challenging to
>>>understand. But I won't modify the log.
Good procedure. If the participants 'calls back' asking for assistance,
they should be helped. But this also should have a time limit, say, one
week after the help/clarification was provided. After that, the
line/lines are ignored, onto the next log.
>>>Now the disclaimer, that this may not apply to all contests on how
>>>they handle the log receiving and preliminary log checking.
Same here, I mean the big ones, CQWW, WPX for example.
