[CCF] ARRL shooting its own leg?

[Jouko Häyrynen]

Ref Rule 5 / DXCC:

Great ´relief´ for DX Speditioneers with on-line Web Log service that
facilitates the "public forum" below. Thus no need for QSLs, no DXCC Award
credits.
DX IS = JFF  (just for fun).

... why to go anymore anywhere ?  sigh

This should save the WRTC 2006 organizers considerable effort and money. 
  No need to QSL QSO's with WRTC competitors - they won't count for DXCC 
purposes with this new rule since the logs are publically available.

[Opinion: A really stupid rule which goes counter to all good wisdom for 
having open contest logs].


New DXCC rule:

5. The presentation in any public forum of logs or other representations
of station operation showing details of station activity or other
information from which all essential QSO elements (time, date, band, mode
and callsign) for individual contacts can be derived creates a question as
to the integrity of the claimed QSOs with that station during the period
encompassed by the log. Presentation of such information in any public
forum by the station operator, operators or associated parties is not
allowed and may be considered sufficient reason to deny ARRL award credit
for contacts with any station for which such presentations have been made.
Persistent violation of this provision may result in disqualification from
the DXCC program.
