I have no problem with sharing my logs with anyone and have done so
several times, for what it's worth.
Almost all my contest operating on VHF+ has been as a QRP portable.
Sometimes I get lucky and win my section or division because no one else
entered or sent their logs in from a Single-Op Portable operation. I
don't have any "strategies" to win that would be given away by my logs or
otherwise, except to find the best site I can to operate from.
