I agree that online logs are more of a problem than they are worth. The overhead on the DXpedition is just one more thing they need to worry about and staff for. This is a great example of how it increases the q rate for them and allowing others not to make a contact.
If they must, then they shouldn't post the logs until they know they are 100% accurate as it does cause even more confusion. I also know I made a 160 contact with them and my entry is not in the log (yet). But, I am not going to try to work them again as I am confident of my contact and it only prevents others from making a contact. This is ham radio and we need to ensure that it was a quality contact on the air, not backing it up online. my 2 cents mike va3mw On Fri, Feb 6, 2015 at 10:26 AM, W3AW via Topband <[email protected]> wrote: > Agree, thanks for not making multiple contacts.
