[CQ-Contest] Re: Sending the wrong exchange

[alan at es.com]

I ran into this quite a bit with the 1K, K and KW guys. I heard operators
saying all three, and more common was K and KW being sent by the same
operator. I noticed that with some multiop stations there were
inconsistencies with some operators sending K and some sending KW. My guess
is that when they submit their logs, there will be no notes about what
exchange was sent with which QSO. Let us hope that the contest committee
makes a sensible ruling about this. Good luck.

	The perverse streak in me likes this idea!  Nothing in the rules
says
	you need to use the same power every QSO.  So long as you log it
right,
	I'd recommend using a different random amount of power for each
contact.
	Hopefully the checking software will crosscheck log-against-log, and
	defeat those who use "fill it in from last QSO" logging techniques.

	Behold, a new age! Contesters who can copy an exchange!

Hans

If you can generate enough enthusiasm for a logging program with restricted
features as you describe, perhaps someone will step forward and design one.
But what would you like to eliminate?  Obviously Supercheck-Partial, but is
dupe checking OK?  Packet cluster interface?  Automatic sending of CW or
voice by DVP?  Give us an idea of what is to be eliminated.
