Actually, that's not quite right. In fact, not sending in a log is
one of the ways that
you can hurt the scores of those that you contact. This is especially
true if you only
made a dozen or so contacts. Perhaps the last thing you'd want to do
in today's
log checking environment is to come on the air from a rare multiplier
and work only
one or two of your buddies, then fail to send in a log. Your buddies
will log you,
and when they hear an immense pile up on a guy operating from your
rare multiplier
they will happily tune away knowing they've already worked it. Then
the log
checkers disallow your contact because it is a "unique" and your
friends lose out
big.
