> Just one week left before the one of the most interesting and
> exciting contests √ CQ WW 160 CW, so we would like to know how
> the contest community feels about LOG checking of this contest.
> According to our observations √ the LOG checking in this contest
> is not being done AT ALL! Adding unverifiable QSOs (mostly multipliers)
> is becoming standard routine in CQ 160 for a lot of stations,
> mostly from Eastern Europe.
> Examples:
> VU2BGS only made 15 QSOs in 2004 CQ 160 Contests, but his call ended
> up appearing in the 70(!) LOGs.
> In 2005 we decided to conduct some kind of experiment and sent
> COMPLETELY FAKE contest LOG of  RA6YP. This station has never been
> active on Topband. The LOG contained some 1000 QSOs.
> And √ what do you think ? His call appeared in the Final results with
> almost 500 ⌠confirmed■ QSO! All the U.S. multipliers were confirmed.
> RA6YP had a pretty decent result in a M/S category.
> So we lost our last doubts┘
> Dave (K4JRB), the Manager of this Contest, says that they are on too
> tight budget to be able to fully check all the scores.
> For now we see two possible solutions to this problem:
> 1. Increase the budget for this contest (obviously, this is a question
>    to the sponsors of the contest);
> 2. Give the LOG checking procedure to the people in the U.S.A. or some
>   other country (for instance, Russia) who can provide quality LOG 
> checking
>   and judging of the contest on existing budget.
