Ok - I guess I also share K1KI's view - log sharing is
common practice among HF types. In fact I have started
recording my contests and I have been planning on not only posting
my logs on the web but my recordings of the contests in hour
chunks. I have not made the time to create those pages
yet but I did post to this list links to the last three years
of my June VHF logs.
I have not uploaded the audio of the June VHF contest
to the server yet but here are my other contests:

OK - then whom are you protecting your strategy from?

Sounds great - I am glad to hear you are working lots of different stations.
It would be even cooler if you sent in your logs, I see that you
have only submitted logs for three ARRL contests in the last 10 years.
