While there are many reasons of interest to open contest logs for public
review there are several reasons to maintain them as private. If one so
likes to leave the cat out of the bag and give away operating secrets, times
and rates. Ask him... When contest logs are submitted for review by the
contest committee they become the property of that committee. They are
assumed to be private.
Otherwise, may someone work you multiple times in the contest filling
your logs with unique silent key calls as has happened to me.
Come on now, Why don't all you right handers cut off your right hand and
lefties your left. This is not to say perhaps a few people have not gained
some insight already.......

Bob - I disagree with your assumption. In my opinion, if you are turning
over your logs to the contest committee, and it becomes their property,
you are assigning the logs to them, and they may do with them as they
wish. Note also, the standard disclaimer, decisions of the contest
committee are final.
If you submit an article to a journal, you sign a statement assigning
copyright and rights to the publisher. They may then publish it, send out
press statements, etc. (at least this is the way it works in the medical
field).
I think it would prove most interesting to be able to review logs. For
example, if I were near the top, but got beat by just a little, I would
sure like to know where I screwed up, or which band I didnt spend enough
time on.
Sure, there are probably guys who will cry foul by finding a "missed" bad
QSO here or there, but like baseball (if you can remember baseball), the
ump's decision stands regardless what the videotape shows after the
fact.

Once again this year, The North Florida DX Assoc. (NFDXA) is traveling to
VP5 for the CQWW phone contest. Last year as a MM they were 3rd place in
the world. This year the operation is MS as VP5Y.
NFDXA would like to use the DX Packet Cluster HF network in the operation,
preferably by connecting direct with a 10MHZ node.
If your a sysop of a HF Cluster Node on 10Mhz and would grant permission to
allow VP5Y to connect direct to your site, please let me know.

I believe that KR1R is correct in keeping the contest logs private. It
really serves no useful purpose to make them public and can only open
a Pandora's Box for the Contest Department. I have traded computer
files of logs with K1AR, KM9P, KC1F, N6BV, K7GM, W1WEF, and others
and have never been refused. If your intent is to learn from someone
else's logs, most contesters are willing to help. If your intent is to
find errors or faults with someone else's log, then you probably won't
get the help. If you are curious about someone else's log, ask them
for a copy in exchange for yours. It works if you have the right
intentions. -- Kurt, W1PH (w1ph at mcimail.com)

Great news! - Medical evidence suggests that contesting is good for you!
Certainly its hard to imagine ANY physical benefits from sitting in your
shack all weekend, but believe it or not one benefit may have surfaced...
A recent medical study looked at retired nuns in convents. To no one's
surprise they live longer because they don't indulge in life's usual
self-destructive vices such as smoking and alcohol. Not only do the nuns
live longer, but their overall health, mental activity and alertness seems
to be sharp. They even have less "alzhimer's" disease, and strokes than
their lay contemporaries in the outside world.
The study suggested that their "sharpness" was due to their activities at
the convent. The retired nun's day is structured. Chapel prayer's before
breakfast, then studying and translating scripture, and other household
"chores" throughout the day. No idle hours watching TV. This structured
mental activity seems to xercise the brain, keep it active, and postpone
senility and other physiological problems that affect seniors at large.
Well, how about running up a 100k score in SS????? Thats certainly
"xercising the brain"! Next time you significant other complains about you
waste-ing a contest weekend in the shack, tell him/her that your simply
xercising your brain. Use it or loose it.....

Subject: Half Square switch directions?
Message-ID: <17OCT94.08423369.0011.MUSIC at SEMOVM>
I recall an article long ago in one of the ham mags (early 70's?)
where someone purported to switch the direction of a half-square
by inserting a suspended 1/4-wavelength of open wire line in the
center of the horizontal phasing section. The phasing should then
be switchable (180 or 360 degrees) depending upon whether the bottom of
the open wire line is shorted or open...
Has anyone ever tried this or modeled this? Comments?
