[CQ-Contest] Public access to logs

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Hans,

If you're protesting "Big Brotherism", your contesting logs are small 
potatoes. You DO know anyone can lookup your property tax statement online 
too, right?

Oh, and if you haven't heard already, the people in St. Paul just raised our 
taxes, again. Don't get me started!
