[RTTY] Mak RTTY Contest bogus logs

[John Barber GW4SKA]

Marc,

Don't worry too much about this. As Bill N3XL rightly says, it is 
self-policing, both in the need to get confirmation on QSLs and also when 
contest logs are presented for checking. The contest managers will soon pick 
up any padding and bounce the log out.

I have only seen this happen twice in the last ten years with BARTG contest 
logs. Both stations were disqualified and I have not seen either of them on 
the screen in any contest since then. It is certainly NOT normal procedure! 
There are also a few regular RTTY contesters who post big scores on the 3830 
list but never have as big a score when they submit logs, but that's another 
issue.
