Logan contest reporting now only on Soaring Cafe

I have been asked by the contest management here at Logan to stop
posting my reports on the official SSA site, so henceforth these
reports will be available only on SoaringCafe.com. Apparently I was
using the ‘U’ (Unlandable) word a little too often for their taste. I
freely admit that a lot of the areas that from this flatlander’s
perspective looks unlandable may in fact be perfectly safe from the
point of view of a Logan regular, but hey – I’m not completely dumb
and it looked pretty scary to me! ;-).

As an SSA member, I invite you to continue posting on the SSA reports
site.

Seconded.

I too, as an SSA member, ask you to please continue posting your reports on
the SSA web site. You are doing a great job of reporting and we all enjoy
your articles very much.

If someone else wants to post additional articles on the SSA web site, they
are welcome to do that.

Me five. I enjoy many of the contest reports. But while there are
benefits of keeping things all together on the SSA site, if that
becomes a stupid hassle then SoaringCafe is a good home as well. I
would hope SSA management looks at this and actively discourages any
attempts to gag posts like this.

I think the SSA needs to make a decision: either disallow their
approved CD's from making task calls over (widely) unlandable terrain,
or pinch their nose and allow the reporters an open mic.

Hi Frank, I really enjoy your contest reports. I am terribly
disappointed in whoever at SSA decided to censor your writeups. I could
understand someone posting a contrasting view, but censorship is simply
uncalled for.

The decision to change the designated reporter for the SSA website
reports was taken by the contest management, not the SSA.
Although I personally disagree with this decision, it is within the
purview of the on-site contest management to decide who posts to the
SSA website.
