It is by no means impuning the actions of those who choose to compete but a 
realization that for some it has just been stretched to a breaking point of 
the need for such critical checking and the demands of time and interest in 
the paperwork aspect as compared to operating.

In my case I find my NA ver 9 has problems since I upgraded to a Pentium 
computer. I've been the route with Dave to find the problem and even gotten 
the final version from him. I assume my computers setup configuration needs 
to be tweaked but no one has been able to tell me where. The computer I used 
for IARU had NA 10.?? on it and bombed when trying to make the files. I was 
able to get a finished log by running the QDF file through an old ver 7 copy 
but you can see I'm not eager to go trapsing through more paperwork.

I like to operate, usually I will have my log e-mailed and fax'd both to ARRL 
before the end of a contest as health wise I don't last to the end any more. 
If the logs are screwed up at the end of a contest they don't get sent.
