[CQ-Contest] Big jump in qrz.com lookups after 10m contest

[Radio K0HB]

It is neither wrong nor impractical.

I'm one of those who contribute to the "after-contest bump" in QRZ lookups.

After each contest I merge my contest log (WriteLog generated) into my 
overall station log (Logger32).  Since the contest log contains very sparse 
detail (just the contest exchange), part of the automated merge process is a 
bridge program which does a "QRZ lookup" to populate my general purpose log 
with things like name, QTH, grid, etc.

None of this information finds its' way into my contest log, since any log I 
submit has already been acknowledged by the robot before I begin the 
after-contest-station-record-housekeeping.  (I have the UBNs to prove it!!!)

In all seriousness, I agree that looking up callbook data after the
contest is wrong. I also think that it is also totally impractical,
