[CQ-Contest] CQWW CW check logs

[Randy Thompson K5ZD]

The concept of CHECKLOG has existed for many years.  It is a log that is submitted to help the log checking process, but the entrant does not want their score to be included in the results.

>From the CQ WW rules at http://www.cqww.com/rules.htm

"V. ENTRY CATEGORIES:
D. Checklog: Entry submitted to assist with the log checking. The entry will not have a score in the results and the log will not be made public."


You enter this category by using
CATEGORY-OPERATOR: CHECKLOG
in your Cabrillo file.

Most contests accept Checklogs.

The Checklog category has been used by some contest administrators as a place to "park" logs that don't meet the rules for some reason.  That is not a practice used by the current CQWW administration.

Randy, K5ZD
