[CQ-Contest] public logs

[Zack Widup]

The problem has been that, if you were going to claim credit for some of
these QSO's for ARRL award programs (WAS, DXCC etc.) ARRL frowned on anyone
releasing full log data to the public on these QSO's. This is why when you
go to a search engine for a big DXpedition and enter someone's callsign, it
only gives you the band/modes they worked. No dates, times etc.
I don't know where ARRL stands on this now.
