[UK-CONTEST] CQ WW 160

[Don Field]

Great result Gordon. But can I implore all contesters, serious or casual,
to send in their logs. Nowadays if you log using SD, Win-Test, etc. it
really is trivial (as Chris G3SJJ, says - 30 seconds. I well recall the
endless hours copying out logs in paper logging days) and every log
available to the adjudicators makes the end result for the high scoring
stations more meaningful. In the 2011 IOTA contest we were able to
adjudicate fully 75% of all QSOs, our highest figure yet. The nearer it
gets to 100% the more confidence everyone can have int he final listings.
