[CQ-Contest] log checking

[Pete Smith]

Bravo to Tree for his clear and utterly defensible description of how 
automated log-checking *must* work.  I've been a contester for over 50 
years, but for most of those I didn't have the antennas to compete near the 
top in any category.  I always hated to see my score appear in the listings 
exactly as I'd sent it in, because I knew my log hadn't been checked.  No 
checking, no opportunity to learn from my mistakes and get better.

The notion that the previous manual log checking was infallible is truly 
laughable.  I cast my vote for an automated process checking all logs, one 
which is under constant review to correct the inevitable glitches.  My only 
wish would be for new processes to be tested "off-line" a little more 
thoroughly, instead of relying on the outcome of a major contest to catch 
the bugs.
