[UK-CONTEST] Two hour log deadline ... real progress!

[Chris Tran GM3WOJ]

Hello all

I agree 100% with Nigel. At the very least we should be reducing the 
submission times year-on-year until they reach the 1-2 hour max. level. Yes 
the CCs are 'starter' contests, but club members are not learning anything 
if they think that continuous paper logging and transcribing is the way 
forward.

Similarly, why is there so much human input to the adjudication process ? 
Again this could be 99% automated, with UBNs sent out within an hour of the 
submission deadline - any resulting appeals looked at (by a human) and the 
results published say, 24 hrs after the log submission deadline.

The lack of any significant penalty for busted callsigns or exchanges is not 
teaching new contesters anything either.

UK contesting need to wake up a bit and move into the 21st century !
