[CQ-Contest] The importance of CHECKLOGS

[Emily Thiel]

Some DXpeditions must really feel this effect.  I for one know that I do get many casual DXers late on Sunday calling me as I am a new DXCC for them.  Some are not interested in the contest at times, and they just want to work the DX.  In the end, calls are removed from my log as well. Too some extent, I feel that the rarer you prefix is, the more you feel the effect.  We can't win all battles :)
