Pete;
In my last report to the ARRL BOD as CAC Chairman in January 2015, the CAC
did in fact make a recommendation that ARRL Contest logs be made public
starting with the ARRL DX Contest. This report, which is public record, is
located at:
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/About%20ARRL/Committee%20Reports/2015/January
/Doc_26.pdf
My intent is NOT to re-open arguments for and against this issue on this
reflector but to just let you know that the CAC DOES recommend a number of
things that are never implemented by the PSC. If you feel strongly about
this issue, let your ARRL Division Board Member as well as your ARRL Division
CAC rep know your feelings.
If you have any questions about the operation of the CAC in general,
contact the new Chairman - George, K5KG.
73,
Al, K0AD

How much difference a decade makes! Whenseveral of us suggested that we
implement a CWAC to try out a 24-hour category within CQWW, Bob Cox
angrily rejected the idea, saying that not a single QSO in a single CQWW
log would ever be released.
How far we've come since! Now, if only the ARRL would adopt the open
logs concept, followed perhaps by the Russians and Germans, we'd have an
ample playing field for all sorts of experiments.
