[UK-CONTEST] Super Check Partial.

[Nigel G3TXF]

Brian,

I'm only too happy to send logs to Bob WA1Z (and to Jim AD1C
before him) for supercheck partial, and I do. The bigger the
log, the better.

I guess many of you will have received the request from Bob
WA1Z for your logs.

I don't feel comfortable about it, am I wrong not to wish to
do it as I know that many do use it and, after all, is it
really any different to me looking at calls already worked
during a contest for a clue in times of hard copy?

If the other guy can't get my call after a couple of tries I
really don't like the guessing games when he is obviously
using SCP and prefer to try him again later.

It might be a contesting generation thing, we of the older
generation tend to follow what our elmers taught us. I
recall as a contesting rookie, talking after one contest to
a well known and respected contester who still posts here
very regularly. The subject was about a station who had been
sending at a superfast speed and I just couldn't be sure of
the c/s so I asked him what that guys c/s was.(*) He
responded to the effect my question was not playing the
game, just be true to yourself and record what you heard. At
the time that made me feel quite small, but it was good
advice which I have followed ever since. No need to ask him
what he thinks of guys who record entire contests or wait
until deadline to submit logs in order to check the c/s list
of 'received logs'

How do you feel about it, do you send them off or not?

(*) I got it wrong.
