[PaQSO] CQ Log Checking Team/scoring team

[Hank Greeb]

Rob:

I'm very concerned that NO ONE, NARY A SINGLE SOUL, in the scoring or 
log checking team has bothered to chime in on this subject.

John, K3CT has offered advice, but says he is NOT part of that team.

My method of logging will be as I typically log a station (mobiles or 
rovers) who move from one county to another.  N1MM will generate two 
consecutive serial numbers.  I'll note this with quill on papyrus.  
Afterward I will change the cabrillo file so both numbers are the same 
in the two consecutive entries.  If the Log Checkers Barf at this 
change, c'est le guerre.  One or more of them could jump in here at any 
time and tell us where to go (for the info) or just say what they expect.

Absence may make one fonder in some aspects of life, but not when one is 
asking for a definitive answer in a matter such as this.

I'm sure I won't be #1 in any entry category, so if I make an error, 
and/or if my impertinence causes my entry to be thrown into the garbage, 
c'est le guerre.
