Randy, K5ZD makes a valid point comparing the old paper log days to current
PC logging. With the PC and the internet and spotting nets comes the
ability to
make changes to the log which violates the rules of virtually every contest.
I ran into a station that tried to rubber log a few contacts after viewing
his competition on the 3830 list.
There is another problem as I see it with the robots accepting logs. Once a
valid cabrillo log is received
(or whatever the contest accepts) I feel it is wrong to submit the log
again. Most have version control so the log checkers know when an update
was submitted.
Perhaps we should make it illegal to do this without some explaination.
Just my 2 cents on this topic.
