I shouldn't ask that question of all serious VHF+ DX-ers though as you 
might not get the answer you expect.

There is no doubt that making exact frequencies, locatorss and both 
calls available to both ends of a link in real time makes for more ... 
erm.. well lets call them QSO's.

To me so many "successful" contacts would have failed without use of 
loggers and chatrooms and that suggests that information passed via the 
internet is assisting that qso, that doesn't sit well with me.

Regardless of increased activity, that has no place in a contest.
