Hello all,

Yes, you have a full 30 days to submit. I have made the correction on 
the rules. It appears that the year was updated, but not the day.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

73,

That error has to be the case, updating the year, but neglecting to 
update the log submission date, though maybe since VHF and 10G+ contests 
were a week later on the calendar than last year (last day of 10G+ was 
Sept 16) that the coordination of those contests may have taken over and 
the submission date wasn't corrected. Anyway paragraph 6.1 of ARRL 
General Rules for ALL ARRL Contests says:
> 6.1. Entries must be sent to the ARRL within 30 days after the end of

Enough said.

I watched my log get hand postmarked this morning at the post office.
Going  to MUD I wouldn't have had more time to work on the contest entry 
anyway.
