[CQ-Contest] Appropriate wait time for contest results?

I agree, it's unreasonable to expect log submission within 24 hours,
not only for the reason mentioned, but also to give participants some
breathing time after the contest. This way they can review the log,
and deal with any issue that would cause the CC to spend time
correcting errors on participants behalf.

That said, I think the CC should not get involved with correcting any
submission errors. I see it as part of the participants responsibility
to submit a log that is error free. In this case, final results after
a month or two may be possible.

Nothing above is to compromise compliance with the contest rules, such
as any form of cheating attempt. I'm talking strictly about the time
the CC spends fixing 'benign' issues.

That is unreasonable for an operation that travels to a remote location
without internet access.
