The extended log deadline for 2011 CQ WW RTTY logs is just one more day (1
November).  Please submit your log, even if a CHECKLOG, to
mailto:rtty at cqww.com.  See the Logs Received list at
http://www.cqwwrtty.com/logs_received.shtml.

Disregard the robot reply saying the log is received past the deadline.  The
robot is programmed per the rules that state the deadline is 15 October.
However, the deadline was extended to 1 November this year when it was
discovered that at least one publication showed the earlier years' due date
of 1 November.

MixW users, please read the MixW Notes at
http://www.cqwwrtty.com/logs.htm#MixW_Notes, before submitting your log.
One of the most popular loggers used is MixW, yet 95% of all MixW logs have
missing or incorrect information in the QTH field of both the sent and
received exchanges.

Thanks for the 3,336 logs already submitted.  The record was 2,681 logs in
2010.  Still, there are 6,069 different un-busted calls throughout the logs
(that appear multiple times, i.e., non-unique).  So, there are lots of logs
not submitted.  However, with the 3,336 submitted logs 85% of the nearly 1.5
million QSOs are cross-checked.  That is, there are both logs for 85% of the
QSOs.
