[CQ-Contest] Contest results

[Roberts, Will]

Personally I don't have a problem with the results coming out months
after a contest. Most all contest sponsors rely on volunteers to do the
thankless job of adjudicating logs. In the event that they may a life
outside of contesting, 3-6 months between contest and publication of
results doesn't seem to unreasonable. Even though most contesters submit
computerized logs, a lot of time is spent on cleaning up log problems as
well as hand entering log info from those who still log on paper.

 

I'd rather look at the 3830 site results right after the contest anyway.
Most of the time the standings don't change a lot and it's more
meaningful to me while the contest is fresh in my mind.

In these days and times of ever faster computers, and mostly computer

generated logs, anyone wonder why it still seems to take forever for the

contest results to come out. Are the sponsors and organizers starting
work

on the results the day after the deadline, or do they wait several
months???

just a question.
