[CQ-Contest] public logs

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Why do you need to be so nosy that you demand to see my logs without cause?

"Many contesters, including me, have allowed our CQ subscriptions to expire
because of CQs' decision to release our logs to the public.  I still
participate in CQ contests, purely for the love contesting, but my logs are
not submitted.  Will contesters similarly withhold funds and logs from ARRL?


What´s the problem with the logs to be public? Any QSO that nobody need to
know about?

decisions

Jose'

In addition to the points you make, there are some other troubling points in

the ARRL "statement".  (The statement is issued in the name of the "Awards 
Committee", but in my experience such public statements are carefully 
crafted, each word deliberately selected, and are passed for the approval of

the "highest levels" of ARRL leadership.)

NN1N writes:  "....far too much emphasis has been placed on a competition 
that is essentially meaningless. Comparing the results of different national

HQ teams, especially across continental boundaries, is comparing apples and 
oranges....."

Never mind that this phraseology ("essentially meaningless") is insulting on

it's face, "comparing the results" between ANY stations is to some extent 
"comparing apples and oranges".  The mythical "level playing" does not 
exist, so if you carry this notion to it's logical end, ALL competition 
could be deemed "essentially meaningless".

NN1N writes: ".... by submitting a log the submitter agrees that the log may

be made public...."

Many contesters, including me, have allowed our CQ subscriptions to expire 
because of CQs' decision to release our logs to the public.  I still 
participate in CQ contests, purely for the love contesting, but my logs are 
not submitted.  Will contesters similarly withhold funds and logs from ARRL?

And finally NN1N writes: "The ARRL will not engage in further correspondence

with regard to the 2009 IARU HF World Championship...."

This attitude of "We've made up our mind, so further discussion of this 
matter is a waste of our time" is astounding, especially from an 
organization which depends primarily on the good will of it's rank-and-file 
membership to support its' continued existence.
