I've only been following the thread casually so perhaps I've missed something
along the way.
I'm not sure, at least for me, that when I submit a "contest log" it
necessarily means my complete log. For example, if I'm working an HF contest
and I see a spot for a country I need say for 7 band DXCC or whatever, I'll pop
over and work that station. If you do this a couple of times, or if your
pursuing a single band entry this could easily violate the band change rules.
On the other hand, I see no reason that I need to enter those into my contest
log other than as a check log for the other station. Now being very new to
the contest scene, it is definitely possible I'm missing something, other than
just trying to have fun in the contest and pursue other dxing interests at the
same time.
73,
Paul (KG7HF)

It is not a new policy. If you send in a log, it is assumed to be
your complete log. If you work 10G and 24G in addition to the lower
4 bands but only send in a log for the lower 4, then you have not
sent in your complete log, as the 10G and 24G QSOs *are not in the
log*. If the QSOs are not in the log, then the other station gets
a....NOT IN LOG (NIL). If a station gets a NIL, then the QSO is
deleted and penalties may be assessed. Do not confuse the category
which you want to enter with your log. Your log contains ALL the
QSOs you make; the category field defines what category you want to
enter. This applies to any contest, HF or VHF.
