James,

It would be helpful if you would identify the source of this 
information.  I am the ARRL's log checker for the ARRL 160M and 10M 
contests, and I can tell you for certain that at least for those two 
contests, this is not true.  I communicate with the log checkers for a 
lot of other contest sand have never heard of such a requirement.

Geez, we can't even get everybody to submit their logs in GMT time, much 
less with an accuracy of two minutes :-)

73,

Dave/K8CC
