How about this for a slightly wacky idea: The ARRL could "enter" the non log submitters in absentia, it would really be just a matter of extracting the call sign, Q, and multiplier data from all thos
How about this idea... Get the league to release the ENTIRE log database file per contest to those who participate so we can do our own analysis of activity. Or better yet, since THEY already have th
All the points Tim made about ARRL losing interest in VHF contests seem very valid to me. I still haven't heard a solid reason why CQ can't pick up these contests...I get the sense that perhaps peopl
So for the June contest we should have a common place to send logs in addition to the ARRL. Whoever chooses to receive and work with the logs can at least give us a picture of the true contest activi
Since these stations don't care to submit in the first place, it's highly doubtful any would "want to be sure all their Q's were properly submitted". And, since they would be in a separate 'deadbeat'
Probably wouldn't happen because of "privacy" issues. There are some who consider that giving away their competative edge. Also, it might show that K7XXX had 10 bands but only worked W8ZZZ from 12 gr

FOLKS! We're going the wrong direction with this! ARRL-Bashing isn't going to fix a damn thing! If you care, DO something about it. Don't just keep writing about how the ARRL is secretly trying to pu
This was suggested before and there was a big hue and cry about the privacy issue. This isn't my idea, this was the complaint of a number of the higher scoring people. It would be interesting to send
Timm, The first word of your post "Get" as in get the League, contaminated your entire post. You are not going to get the League to do any thing unless it is HF related and then the magnificent few a
I disagree about the ARRL only caring about HF. The League loves 2 meter FM, packet, APRS, and echolink more than anything else. If we could find a way to incorportate echolink into the VHF contest,
Uh, Is this the VHF Contesting reflector? Sounds more like "THE ARRL SUCKS, AND HERE'S WHY" list. NOBODY, I mean NOBODY was happy that scores were pulled out of the mag. It WAS the wrong move, in our
The wild diversions of this thread might be entertaining if it wasn't so ill informed. I have to agree with K2AXX - everybody take a deep breath and get a grip. I am on the ARRL Contest Advisory Comm
