Sorry Robert, my mistake. I was assuming that the log detail would be
exposed. I would definately participate in this type of system as well as
3830.

Guy,
Please help me understand what you mean in your second sentence below.
My concept is logs would be submitted and processed by the contest sponser but
only summary sheet information would be posted back to the internet for all to
see.
I don't know how you could correct your log from this limited data.

charset="iso-8859-1"I this is an interesting idea Vlad. The problem would be
that cheaters would find and catch logging errors posted by others before
submitting theirs. The whole process would become an online auction of sorts.
;-). I think if the log deadline were shortened considerably, again this is
the 21st century right? This would alienate the guys sending in paper logs
though (I think). One way to solve this might be to shorten the log deadline.
Say you have 2 hours (arbitrary number) to submit for consideration and then
the online results can be viewed subject to adjudication. Would this be a
problem for the casual op? The casual guys are bread and butter right?
<soapbox mode on>I dunno. IMHO, this is radio contesting not a general
technology competition. I'm a relatively younger newcomer who is a software
engineer by trade. I say this because I'm not afraid of computer
technologies, the Internet, progress, etc. I think these kind of changes have
to be carefully considered. We cant just say demagogically, "You are holding
up progress".</soapbox mod off> I'm just excited to play radio over the coming
weeks! 73 - Guy, N7ZG> From: vs_otw@rogers.com> To: cq-contest@contesting.com;
