[CQ-Contest] A lot of strange BADs in UBN - actually not!

[Mike Gilmer - N2MG]

Tonno,

I, too, have had several correspondences with the CQWW 
committee and/or log checking folks.  Each of the
responses I received was courteous and enlightening.

The more I learned (directly from them and not from 
speculation on the reflector), the more I realized 
these guys know what the hell they are doing.  The 
techniques are logical and well constructed.  And, 
might I add, apparently still very closely scrutinized 
by humans.

It's only too bad that they haven't figured out a way 
to make a public document describing some of their 
techniques without giving away their, excuse the 
term, "secrets".  They understandably want to avoid 
folks attempting to "wash" their logs based on the 
criteria.
