[CQ-Contest] [Re: CQWW CW & 6Y1V Logs]

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Just to set things straight on the record, I do not believe that the
operators at 6Y1V did anything wrong or has anything to hide.

I am unclear of the real intent of the protest they are making.

Not much point in hiding the strategy if your log is not considered for the
final results.

I have had a couple of private emails with Dave on this and I am not sure
what the purpose of this protest really is.  I am leaning with Doug VA5DX as
there is more to the story.

I don't see the problem with open logs, unless you have something to hide,
and it isn't necessarily cheating.  What you want to keep private may be
perfectly legal, such as your "secret strategy." 

Regarding operating from a potential multiplier and publicly announcing
you're not going to submit your log actually enhances the ability for others
to pad their logs with a 6Y QSO.

How about this... if 6Y1V wants to put in a big contest effort, but not have
his logs made public, make a deal with the CQWW Committee to submit the log
as a check-log, with the understanding it will remain unpublished.
