[CQ-Contest] ARRL and Open Logs

[Pete Smith]

 From this week's ARRL Letter:

"The Board also acted on the Programs and Services Committee report,
voting to eliminate Rule 5 from Section III of the DXCC Rules. The
Committee realized that while publishing log data can have a
detrimental effect on operating awards, it was not possible to
control such actions and the rule cannot be enforced. As part of an
effort to maintain the integrity of operating awards programs, the
Board called on staff to create resources and guidelines for QSLing
and for QSL managers. These guidelines will help people who QSL to
understand the "best practices" and help to support the work of the
QSL manager so that access to log data won't degrade Amateur Radio's
long tradition of the honor system."
