[CQ-Contest] LOTW and Contest Logs

[Bill Parry]

To upload logs to LOTW the QSOs need to be verified. Foreign stations need
to submit verification of their license before they can get their log
accepted. I have no problem with the concept but it would be more
complicated that just uploading all the logs. It would make my job more
complicated since I upload my contest logs into my logging program and then
use the logging program to generate the appropriate files for upload. I do
this each month so I would have to figure out which QSOs had been uploaded
and which had not in my log.

I would be fine with the concept but like to be able to opt out of that
process. Years ago we used to be able to claim credit for contest QSOs based
on the logs that were submitted for the ARRL contests.

I am sure this has been asked before, but why is it that contest logs are
not just automatically uploaded onto LOTW.  The revenue is on the
confirmation side so it would seem to be in the economic interest of the
league to allow all contest submitted logs to populate LOTW.
