[CQ-Contest] Sweepstakes -Automatic Fill - 93 or 67

[K0HB]

I have on file a letter from "The Desk" which states that the check used need only be consistent for the entire contest weekend, but need not be consistent from weekend to weekend.

but then if you are not sending REAL info are you not violating the rules and should be DQ'ed?

Sweepstakes, with it's lengthy exchange, is a test of "Radioman" skills, not 
"Computerman" skills, and consequently is my favorite contest.  Like your 
situation, my "check" sometimes changes from one year to the next, as a 
means of confounding those who use "auto-fill" software crutches.

  Looking at the log checking reports, I was surprised at the number of
stations who apparently fill in the exchange information from a previous
year's database.
