An Open Letter to the Contesting Community from CQ magazine:
In response to our request that contesters e-mail their logs for=20
CQ-sponsored contests, several e-mail messages were sent to us and/or=20
posted on e-mail reflectors, questioning the wisdom and motives of our=20
request. Because contesters are very important to us, we feel it =
necessary=20
to respond. We are doing so in the form of an open letter, so that =
anyone=20
who read the "flames" posted to e-mail reflectors may also read our =
reply.=20
Please pardon the length of this posting, as many points were made to =
which=20
we feel we should respond.
Many of you seem to think we are over-reacting to the world situation. =
Yet=20
the anger expressed in some of your letters would suggest that we are =
not=20
the ones over-reacting. We understand that many of you are angry and=20
frustrated. All of us are angry and frustrated, but in most cases it has =
little to do with contest logs.
Several writers have suggested that we are "giving in" to terrorism by=20
requesting that logs be submitted by e-mail rather than postal mail. The =
FCC announced last week that it will no longer accept hand-delivered =
paper=20
documents in envelopes, that all mail addressed to its headquarters will =
be=20
diverted to a satellite office in Maryland, and for two days, no=20
hand-delivered documents would be accepted at either location. The FCC=20
urged its "customers" to "make full use of the Commission's electronic=20
filing system." This is no different from our request, except that we're =
perfectly willing to accept hand delivered contest logs. Is the FCC =
giving=20
in to terrorism?
The government has posted armed National Guard troops at airports and =
put=20
air marshals on airliners, established "no-fly" zones for private planes =
over major U.S. cities, and has jet fighters patrolling our skies and=20
escorting to the ground any commercial flight that reports any sort of=20
disturbance on board. You cannot drive a truck into New York City =
without=20
its contents being inspected by the police. Does this mean that our=20
government is panicking and that the terrorists are winning? Many of =
your=20
letters would suggest that you feel that way.
This is not a "knee-jerk" response to vague threats, nor is it some=20
sinister plot to make you buy contest logging software. The threat is =
all=20
too real. Just ask the people at American Media in Florida; on Capitol =
Hill=20
in Washington, and at NBC, CBS, ABC, the New York Post and Governor=20
Pataki's office in New York. Every day seems to bring more. The FBI and =
the=20
US Postal Service are urging all businesses to take reasonable =
precautions=20
in their handling of incoming mail. This is part of our effort to do so.
Businesses all over the country, large and small, are taking prudent=20
precautions in the face of not imagined, not perceived, but real =
attacks=20
by mail. TV news operations in Los Angeles, 2500 miles from mailrooms in =
New York, have had no mail deliveries in a week. The House of=20
Representatives shut down for several days, and collected all=20
already-delivered mail to be screened. More anthrax contamination was=20
found. The primary targets of mail-terrorism so far have been media and=20
government offices. As a media company, regardless of size, we feel we =
must=20
take reasonable precautions, and we feel that the precautions we are =
taking=20
are reasonable.
Several writers seem to believe we will be inconveniencing large numbers =
of=20
contesters and that encouraging e-mailed logs is something new. Both are =
incorrect. First of all, we have been encouraging log submission by =
e-mail=20
for several years. Section XI/5 of the CQWW Rules states: "We want an=20
electronic log. The Committee requires an electronic log for any =
possible=20
high score." This is not new. Secondly, over 90% of logs submitted for =
the=20
2000 CQWW Contest were e-mailed. At most, this request would affect 10% =
of=20
those who submit logs.
Despite assertions to the contrary, we never said we would throw away=20
mailed logs, or that we would not accept logs that are faxed or attached =
to=20
e-mails as word processing or .pdf files (as if this is somehow =
different=20
from e-mailing your logs). Any of these options is acceptable. Mailed =
logs=20
will also be accepted, but will be held aside until we feel they are =
safe=20
to open. An offer was made by one of our contest committee volunteers to =
have the paper logs mailed to his house. If we were to accept that =
offer,=20
then we would be guilty (as already charged) of caring less about our=20
volunteers than our staff. If we do not feel something is safe for our=20
staff to open, we will not consider it safe for a volunteer to open, =
either.
Several writers also wondered about other types of mail that we receive. =
We=20
are taking a variety of precautions regarding our mail, and the request =
to=20
contesters was only one of them. In addition, several people saw this as =
an=20
excuse to stop handling paper logs for convenience reasons. It is not. =
We=20
have no problem with paper logs except what we've outlined above.
Let me take a few more moments of your time to try to explain what =
living=20
in the NY metro area has been like in the past six weeks, and is like=20
today. It is obvious both to Dick Ross (K2MGA, our publisher) and to me=20
that even 100 miles outside New York City, life today is very different=20
than it is within the city and its suburbs. We both talk to people all =
over=20
the country and it has become very clear that people outside the New =
York=20
and Washington DC metro areas don't really understand what it's like =
here.=20
I live in New Jersey, about 15 miles west of Manhattan. Hicksville, =
where=20
our offices are, is about 15 miles east of Manhattan. Dick Ross lives=20
farther out on Long Island, in a small suburban town. Where I live, just =
about any high point offers you a view of New York, and especially in =
the=20
past -- of the twin towers. In winter, when there were no leaves on the=20
trees, you could always see them from the top of my street. From Dick's=20
office window at sunset, you could see the towers over on the horizon, =
lit=20
up by the setting sun. These buildings have been symbols of security for =
us, "watching over us," if you will. No matter where you went within 50=20
miles of New York, there was always a spot where you could see them. In =
the=20
two weeks following the attacks, where we once saw majestic towers, we =
saw=20
only a column of thick smoke. Our security is gone. And we are =
constantly=20
reminded, at every hilltop, of what's no longer there. In Dick's small=20
town in the outer suburbs, there have been a dozen funerals in the past =
six=20
weeks for victims of the attack. TV news continues to show funerals in=20
various parts of the area for police officers and firefighters lost in =
the=20
attack. These have been ongoing for six weeks. Imagine having to wait =
six=20
weeks to bury a loved one! Every day, my local newspaper runs several=20
"Lives Remembered" obituaries every day, even six weeks later. Early =
on,=20
there were one or two full pages a day devoted to these obits; now it's=20
"only" about a half page, every day. The lead story in our newspapers =
every=20
morning for the past two weeks has been the latest case of anthrax. Now, =
there's a Washington, DC postal worker dying from the inhaled form, =
along=20
with the postal workers in Trenton, NJ who have been contaminated. For =
most=20
of you, this is an event that's happening someplace else, an abstraction =
to=20
a certain extent. For those of us in and around New York and Washington, =
it's here and now and very real.
Someone suggested in an e-mail that you're more likely to get killed=20
driving to work than by anthrax received through the mail. Quite true. =
But=20
when I drive, I wear a seat belt, because I know that taking that simple =
precaution greatly reduces my risk of being killed. That's not my point=20
here, though. I want to tell you what it's like for me to drive to work. =
I=20
have to cross the Hudson River and the East River to get from New Jersey =
to=20
Long Island. That means two bridges or tunnels in each direction. That=20
means passing two police checkpoints in each direction each time I go to =
the office. That means watching police officers, state troopers, and=20
occasionally National Guard troops checking the contents of every truck=20
trying to cross a bridge or tunnel, and tearing one apart if something=20
doesn't look right. When I cross the George Washington Bridge, no =
trucks=20
are allowed on the lower level. This has become part of everyday life in =
New York, along with the traffic restrictions in lower Manhattan and two =
tunnels that still are not fully open to all traffic. I used to love=20
crossing our bridges, and did my best to soak in the magnificent views =
they=20
offer. Now all I want to do is get to the other side before some truck =
that=20
eluded the police blows up. Someone else said in another e-mail that=20
"they're not even in New York City." Perhaps not (and neither is =
Trenton).=20
But New York City is in us. For anyone who lives here, and especially=20
anyone who has lived or worked in New York City for any length of time,=20
"the city" is a central part of the fabric of our lives. That fabric has =
been torn. "Our" city has been injured. We have been injured. And we=20
continue to be threatened. We feel we must take reasonable safeguards to =
protect ourselves from further injury. We are buckling our seat belts =
and=20
we want everyone in the car with us to do the same.
Finally, please keep in mind that we are not the bad guys. The bad guys =
are=20
the ones who hijacked airliners and flew them into buildings, and who =
are=20
sending anthrax through the mail to government and media offices. We are =
not anti-contest or anti-contester. We have been among the primary=20
supporters of contesting for more than a half century, and our support=20
today is as strong as ever.
Please participate in the CQWW. Please submit your log. And in =
accordance=20
with Section XI/5 of the Rules, please submit your log electronically if =
at=20
all possible.
Tnx & 73, and CU in the contest,
