[UK-CONTEST] Some thoughts re RSGB Contest Committee process

[Dave Sergeant]

There are very strong reasons why full contest logs should NOT be made 
open for public viewing, in particular for QSLing and award chasing 
where it is far too easy to forge QSOs you didn't actually make. That 
is why most online dxpedition logs only show you the bands you have 
made contacts on rather than the full details. It also makes mockery of 
SWL reports, when all the chap has to do is do an online search then 
send you a card claiming he heard you (usually at times when 
propagation would indicate he most certainly did not). Many of us 
regret CQs decision to make CQWW logs public.
