Please see http://cqww.com/publiclogs/2016ph/

For the last two years, the contest community has used the public logs to assist the CQWW Contest Committee in finding possible “issues” with some of the logs. We look forward to your feedback again this year.

You may send your findings and concerns at: https://cqww.com/contact

Please base your findings and concerns on an actual log review and not simply on your suspicions.

Thank you!
