name removed so I can yell at them and not feel so bad (maybe this is
the weekend flu speaking, but I've had about enough of this!)

How to H*** did you learn to operated in contests and put together logs
to send in??  I remember way back in the days of paper logs of all the
hours and hours spent figuring out how to put together the proper
package for submitting logs.  Recopying dupe sheets, cleaning up
erasures, marking qso's I couldn't read as 0 points, calling up my
mentors to ask them how to score something, etc.  If you have a
complaint about what someone is doing on here and think they are
cheating report them to the contest sponsor or contact them in private
and point out the error of their ways, but don't chastise them in
public.  I look on this list like a support group, but most of the time
it looks like a batch of whiners and wanna-be contest cops, so go
sponsor your own contests and make your own rules and enforce them to
the letter if you want, I've heard enough of this junk.

Unfortunately in these days where logs are processed by robots instead
of humans the ONLY person who can answer this is the one who writes the
log checking software.  All other answers about 'att' and '100' being
the same or 'k' or 'kw' being legal are only conjecture or rumor.
