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.
