The K1DG CTU presentation is excellent.  Everyone should review it before the 
Fall contests!  There is always going to be "stuff that happens" that causes 
some busts and NILs in your log.  But, good to have the reminder so that you 
can minimize the number of errors that you can control!

Rich I think you'll enjoy the heck out of this, a personal history of 
logchecking by N6TR, and it includes some details about WRTC 2006
logchecking:

Also there is this, Doug K1DG's powerpoint that was at CU in 2018

And Doug's NCJ article is available at the NCJ website here:
https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fncjweb.com%2Ffeatures%2Fjulaug19feat.pdf&amp;data=04%7C01%7C%7C468915d5f7184138d89c08d960f035c3%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637647407076802100%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=MhyxrIJ8gCJ6C0n9AkO5ZNFUIYven%2FgwHzQDeLz6q%2BU%3D&amp;reserved=0

Back in the 1990's, processing thousands of logs each with up to several 
thousand lines qualified as "big data". And it was further complicated by the 
mix of paper and electronic log submittals.

In 2021 the computing horsepower is not such a big deal, and just last year the 
option of paper log submittals was completely removed from several contests and 
nobody seemed to notice.
