I find that if I submit a log 29 days after the contest, it is probably
because I have forgotten about it since about day 3.
It would be nice to have some automated service for which one could sign up,
that would look at a sample of early arriving logs, and if it detects your
call as having been on the air but shows no log received from you, would send
out an e-mail message asking/reminding you to send in your log. This might
happen 10-15 days after the contest.
Something like this has been done for the sprints, I suspect with some human
intervention.
