Really strange that we find so many supporters of "bullet proof" security used in the LOTW. IMHO DXCC program is no different from most of the contests. In fact it is sort of contest with no time limit. Is somebody on this reflector going to dispute that winning CQWW is more difficult then winning 5BDXCC. If one managed to win CQWW he had probably built a station and developed operating skills to the extend that allow that person to get 5BDXCC quite quickly. I hope nobody on this reflector will dispute that getting awarded for winning CQWW is no less honorable then getting 5BDXCC. Yet the security of judgement in CQWW is purely based on the analyses of the submitted logs and sometimes on some additional information available to the contest sponsors. Why DXCC program should be that more important. Why should it require security exceeding that of some of the financial institutions? Why there are supporters of that high security requirement here on the contest reflector? Why then they do not question the security of contest logs? Would it not be a topic more appropriate for the contest reflector? 73, Igor UA9CDC > > I don't want to reduce security.
