Hans,
I'm just curious and really don't want to get into this thread other than to
ask a question. I am not judging anybody's decision, but my question is:
What is the big deal about keeping your contest logs secret and only for
your eyes? If you submit your logs to LotW they are public for those who
are interested. Like I said, I'm just curious. If you were a cheater, I
could understand it. But anybody listening to the contest can hear the
contact, so why all the furor over submitting a log?
