[SECC] New Log Deadlines for CQ Contests

[Gordon Macie]

I guess the point is to stop cheaters from having time to go through their logs. 


My schedule is always hectic.It's hard enough to find time to contest. Quite often I never even send in my logs. Either I send it in before shutting
down the computer from the contest or not at all. Recently I did get around to sending in my arrl vhf log in time I thinkbut it wasn't within 5 days.. 


I agree this is a unreasonable change.. Cheaters will still cheat.. They will just have to do it quicker.

I agree with Lee AA4GA.  5 Days at this point 
will makr it tough.  I think 30 days is a good compromise.  G3XTT says 
this is a good way to eliminate the many small logs so necessary to check the 
bigger logs.
 
I know from the CQ 160 Tests that many send in a 
log that rejects and only about 50% check the reject message.  If I had not 
gone back to check several large logs would not have made it.  I am betting 
many small logs still try to home brew the cabrillo logs.
 
What about hams way from home for the contest or 
those who have a trip planned.
 
Lastly what about paper logs.  I know the 
number has dropped but a few are big scores.  
 
That is why I favor 30 days.
 
The next step would be 10 days.  To go to 5 
days now would lower the number of logs and drive away many casual operatorse 
depend on for our high scores.
