All of the PJ2T Cabrillo contest logs have been published on
the Club web site (www.pj2t.org) from the first operation 
there in 2000 through the last submitted log.

I never much understood why UBN reports were held confidential,
and personally wouldn't mind them being made public record. 
Problem is, there is so much data there, and so little to 
be proved or learned by data mining it except for the 
specific station from whose log it came (and they already
have access).

CQ has yet to provide the contest results from the 2003 CQWW
Contests on the CQWW web site.
   (http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com/cqwwhome.html).

I think it's a bit optimistic that CQ will be willing or able
to make a few thousand UBNs available while the operators are
still young enough to be able to chew their food or remember
the contest.
