I thought my open letter was more diplomatic...

I debate if it can be resolved in the confines of the ARRl and other contests are needed so they have some competition.

 

and to k3lfo 's post, I would have to build 10 stations get 10 people no codelicences and cordinate all the qsos to compete.  Thats a pretty big step from whe I am at now.  How about you?

 

a log turned in as parially check logging is cherrie picking.  I could of dumped 10 qsos and entered as a limited and won after realizing the microwave bands were almost dead. 

 

I suppose if you had a registering system where you declared what you are going out as before the contest, then a check log would not facilitate QSO cherrie picking, which some believe is unethical.
