All,
For the 2017-2018 Contest Season, ARRL has announced in the upcoming September
QST (p91) a few changes to reflect current "best practices" in the contest
community and help us improve the quality of the competition and reporting of
results.
Some of the subjects discussed in the announcement include:
- Increased focus on online log submissions via web app as we phase
out email Robots.
- Shortening log submission deadlines to help get the log data into
log checking more quickly.
- Encouraging in HF competition that logs use 1 kHz accuracy for
improved log checking.
- Making all logs public, once the contest results are made public.
- Club Competition (discussion of past seasons updates and
improvements).
- Remote-Controlled-Station contest entries.
The announcement can be viewed at
