Hello again to all....I have not been able to get the Contest Branch to 
give me a straight answer as to whether or not a Protest Log(a log with 
NO contacts) would be counted as a "Log Received".

Marshall-

On August 4, I replied to you and said:

Hi Marshall-

I would not be inclined to count a zero-QSO log as a log received; an
empty log is valueless for Contest Branch purposes.

You replied on August 4 at 11:35pm:

"Hi Sean....the reason that I would like to send in a Protest Log with
NO contacts is obvious.  However, I don't wish for such a log to be used
to inflate the number of logs received....just so that people will
believe that the EME contest is still healthy."

There's your straight answer.

I will not be engaging in this debate, but I did reply to you quickly
and I told you I wouldn't count empty logs as Logs Received.
