[CQ-Contest] Open Logs was: Re: On Distance Scoring

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Whoo. Hoo...!!!  Hardly six hours after making a suggestion, 'the goods 
have been delivered'! The 2012 CW & Phone logs have been zipped up into 
single files, approaching 50-Mb each.

Thank you Randy (and CQ)!

The ball is now in our court to see what results can be extracted from 
all that data.
