Try the telephone.

I will call tomorrow.


Please cite that rule. I find nothing on any of the ARRL rules sites
(neither contest specific nor general rules).

I have submitted several logs that have results that fall into the "log
checking reports" category, below is a sample from the report:

*** Not In Log ('N') ***
Lines beginning with the letter 'N' are judged to be 'Not In Log'. This
means
we have the other station's log, and your call, or a call close to it, does
not appear in that log on this band. This QSO is removed from the log and an
extra one qso penalty is assessed.

Hi Matt,

That isn't unusual. There might be some confusion that 2 logs are
needed to give out points though. In many (most) contests not everyone
submits a log. The one that I have the most experience with is the PAQSO
party. I estimate that 50 percent of the participants send in logs.

We can see who hasn't sent in a log, because their call signs show up
in a lot of logs.

If an Ops log has QSO's with other Ops who submitted logs, they can be
cross referenced for accuracy.

If an Ops log has contacts who didn't send in a log, they are still
counted. You won't be penalizing anyone if you don't send in the log.

There is one exception to this: Occasionally a log will come in that
has a high percentage of "uniques", who don't show up in any one else's
logs. We scrutinize those logs carefully, because it just isn't very
likely that that many people who just make one QSO are going to be
having that single QSO with that one station.






Submit your 5th band after the due date. That should automatically make
it a check log.

I fear if you submit a second log at any time it will invalidate the old
log.

Your best bet if you are concerned, is to just submit your good logs.
You won't be penalizing anyone.

Hope this helps.
