[UK-CONTEST] CQ WW webinar 21st October

[Bob Henderson]

I too have confidence in K5ZD.  He is thoughtful, has good attention to
detail, is a great communicator and so far as I can tell, is of the highest
integrity.  I cannot think of a better person to take up the reins of CQWW.

I thought Randy's mention of the fact that logs may be resubmitted as many
times as wished up to the log deadline was more to do with explaining the
mechanics of the current mechanism.  This was apparently necessary as some
folks intending a single band entry had been submitting a single band log
and then following that with an all band log submitted for check log
purposes.  He was pointing out that so far as the robot is concerned the
last log posted against a call prevails.  So the erstwhile single band
entrant, unknown to himself, became an all band entrant.

That the robot incorporates a Cabrillo integrity checker is a good thing.
This alerts combatants to any formatting problems requiring attention and
resubmission.  The principle behind the changes is intended to get us
closer to ensuring that contesting is over when the end bell rings.  I
think these efforts are to be applauded.
