[VHFcontesting] Great idea -- Kudos to Grid Pirates

[John Geiger]

I do have one question about the open logs:  A couple of weeks ago we have a long discussion about all of the problems with contesting (especially roving) with everyone saying we need open access to logs.  Now we have it in a limited way (so far) and I want to know:

 "How does having open access to logs fix any of these problems?"
