I believe this to be true. However, if the receiving station (or even the
TX station)
does not send in a log, what happens? I'm not sure. I claimed 1589 QTCs and
was credited with 1524, so I lost 65 QTCs somewhere. They might have been
from stations that did not send in logs, but I don't know the criteria DARC
uses
to score the contest. It does present an interesting question though.
Erp, I've assumed that QTC's sent to stations that didn't send in a
log were just as good as anyone's. I'd like to know this for sure,
since if things are going as usual for me from home, I just take
QTC's, don't worry about getting them correct or logging them, and
then don't send in a log, on the grounds that I'm giving cheap points.
If this is not true, then I'd like to know.
I hope the ARRL takes the AA4NC problem to heart, and will provide
some feedback. A QSO count should be easy enough to implement, and
would give some assurance that the entire proper log was received.
