[CQ-Contest] Fw: On Line Logs

[sawyered at earthlink.net]

No, but if they are in your log but you discover that you are not in there's, you pull it out and avoid the penalty when cross checked.

There was a long thread on post contest log improvements a while back and this seems to me to be the mother lode of post contest log tweaking.

To me it goes back to the fact that 30 days is way too long for logs to be submitted when it seems that over 90% of major contest logs are submitted by email.

available in various modes before the contest submission deadlines.  I make
no comment on anyone's intention being anything less than honorable in
posting it or their right to do so.  But an on-line log prior to the
submission deadline allows an unscrupulous operator to check to see if he
is indeed "in the log" for a potentially valuable mult before submitting.  

If you're in their log, well then you're in their log, and you submit it.

If you're not in their log, then all the checking in the world won't put
you there.

(I'm probably missing something.)
