[CQ-Contest] CQWW CW check logs

This could be done also if he send a log (not checklog)

W1EBI will have a NIL and SM7XYZ will not have any penalty for the QSO he
deleted

Asunto: Re: [CQ-Contest] CQWW CW check logs

Let me clarify with an example:

SM7XYZ makes good QSO's with 10 stations, including, for example, W1EBI. 
The submitted logs of all 10 stations show a QSO with SM7XYZ.

SM7XYZ does not like W1EBI. Before submitting his checklog, he removes the
QSO with W1EBI from his log. The other 9 QSO's remain in SM7XYZ's checklog.

A score is never calculated for SM7XYZ, since it was a checklog. 
However, SM7XYZ's checklog is included in the log checking process. 
Since the QSO with W1EBI is not in SM7XYZ's checklog, W1EBI gets a NIL
against his log.

73,
Steve, N2IC

including from fairly skilled ops. But if a checklog is not included in the
competition, why would a QSO with that SM not simply be classified as a
Unique?  Never heard of a "NICL"--not in checklog.

good QSLer. This results in the deleted stations getting NIL's in their logs
(and the associated penalties), while the Swedish stations' log remains
completely hidden. Checklogs have not been included in the database of open
logs.
