Hi Joe,
that´s because the rules still have points that where good 40-50 years
ago!...
now you don´t need to wait more than 2 days to send the log.
Some contest like Russian (RDXC), are improving the rules:
12.1 Logs must be submitted to the contest sponsors within 14 days after the
end of the contest
12.2 An applicant aiming for a spot in the "Top 3" list of any contest
category (paragraph 3, 3.3) must submit his logs within 36 hours after the
end of the contest.
Top of the line is WRTC. how many days the teams have to send his logs? they
are not correcting the logs, sending emails to check the exchanges,
listening for recording files, etc. This is not contest, this is not
ethic!...
73,

Been contesting since the early 70's when everything was paper logs and
dupe sheets. Back then it was common practice for after a contest was
over, to re write the logs over.
Reason?
During the heat of the contest peoples penmanship can get pretty bad.
They can easily read their own writing, but others would have a hard
time if at all, so many would re write the contest so the log then was
clear and legible.
Nothing was changed or fixed, but the horrid penmanship that was
readable only by the original writer, was rewritten so anyone could
understand it.
Would this be a legal thing to do? I know it was very common practice.
If it was NOT legal to do and you had to send in your logs as is, then
why did contests have such a HUGE window to get your logs mailed in?
If you were not to re write them and only send in the originals, why did
most contests have like a 2 month window to get them mailed in. Why so
long?
