[CQ-Contest] LCRs

Randy: It's not the copying, it's the typing. And in trusting outdated Super Check Partial. -- Jim, K1TNLOG CHECKING REPORT FROM WWW.ARRL.ORG

The ARRL is pleased to announce the availability of Log Checking Reports
(LCRs) for selected ARRL contests.  We recognize that it is useful to
participants to review the errors found in their logs, allowing them to
identify areas for improvement in their performance. In order to
minimize additional manpower and avoid the inequities, we have
established guidelines regarding how we will address queries.

Simply put, we will not enter into discussions or debates over
individual QSOs. All electronic log data is checked using custom
software. All logs are judged by the same criteria. The log-checking
software can and does perform a good job of impartially adjudicating the
logs. Unique QSOs are not busted without substantial evidence. Audio
tapes, wave files of particular QSOs, email confirmations from others,
or other types of "documentation," while useful for a contester's
research and learning, are not usually definitive and will not be
considered. If a systemic problem is found, we will address the issue as
appropriate.

There have been a few rare occurrences where log files were corrupted
during transmission to the ARRL. If your report reflects an unusually
large decrease in QSOs that you suspect may have resulted from a log
file transmission error, we will be happy to investigate. The Cabrillo
format Start-Of-Log and End-Of-Log statements are the means that we use
to verify that the log arrived intact. We will deal with these problems
as necessary.

LCRs will be available for selected events, commencing with the 2001
ARRL November CW Sweepstakes. Please keep in mind that the style and
format for each report may differ between various contests, as the
various contests are checked and processed by different software. If you
have questions, please feel free to contact us at contests at arrl.org or
by phone at 860-594-0232.

Thanks!
