Guess Ill join the chorus.
I also think 5 days is too quick for all the reasons given so far. In addition to which, accepting late
logs from some stations continues to occur and the way that favor gets handed
out continues to be based on inter-personal relationships, a practice that IMHO
should have been stopped years ago.
Stations who go this route can now submit late on day 6 and later instead
of day 31 and later. The place
where log massaging and cheating play a role in the results is pretty much by
definition in the top ten. Some
top-ten stations are the ones routinely submitting after the deadline. Moving the deadline isn’t going to
help much unless late logs are rejected – per the rules.
Soap-box off.
