Through our judgment software (W3KM) we could manage to cross-check QSOs within the received logs, and found approx 519 stations (operators) who made more than 3 contacts during the contest and never sent their logs to the Contest Committee. The list of these stations is published in the official Contest Results 2008. We can assume that there were more than 800 participants this year, and only 35% of them submitted their logs.
