[CQ-Contest] Public Logs

[Russell Hill]

On the rare occasion when I have a log worthy of interest, I would be only to happy to have it public; in fact, I would like to show it off.

That said, I wonder if a policy of publishing all scores, with those who do not object to their logs being public being noted, might not be a useful compromise?

Unless someone might feel that "I do not want to have those with open logs to be identified because that would make it obvious that I do not want anyone seeing my log.  I don't want anybody's log to be public."

73 to all
Rusty, NA5TR
