[ILQSO] [SMC] LOG DEADLINES

[Jim McDonald]

#3 is fine, in my opinion.

I upload to https://www.3830scores.com/ within five or ten minutes after a contest and submit the log after that.

Subject: [SMC] LOG DEADLINES

Hey troops,
I'm curious about something: More and more contests are dropping the log
submission deadlines from the usual 30 days down to ....a lot less in some
cases.  I'd like an opinion (please check one or more):
1) For a QSO party, 30 days is fine.  Lots of participants are casual, and
it may take them 30 days to figure out how to submit a log.  Plus that gives
the sponsors time to bug the ones that haven't sent a log yet.
2) In the interest of getting quicker results, 10-14 days is appropriate for
a log submission deadline.
3) When the contest is over, it's over.  I can create a Cabrillo file in 5
minutes and e-mail it while I'm thinking about it.  3-7 days is plenty for a
deadline.

Other random thoughts?  Thanks, 73, Jim N9JF
