I find it very amusing that people make statements about how logs are 
(or are not) checked without any information to support their 
assertions.  I am part of the logchecking team for the ARRL 10M contest 
and know for a fact that in regards to that contest (and the ARRL 160 as 
well) that he is wrong.  I'm curious as to what he bases his statements 
on, because I know he's never contacted the logchecking team to get the 
actual answer.
