Scott:
I'm going to defer to others who have been involved in contesting much more
than me, but here are my answers to your questions, based on what I know.
It depends on the contest in terms of whether people will be interested in
DX contacts. Usually, DX contacts are sought after, unless it is a state
qso party of some kind.
The exchange info that is required will depend on the particular contest.
So, it's always good to check on that before participating. Most logging
software will be very clear about the exchange info that is needed, and will
even do the scoring for you.
The need for log submissions for participants to get credit for working you
is a tough one. Once again, I think it depends upon the contest. Some
contests do things on an honor system, while others do require log
verification via cross-checking.
Again, others may have much better light to shed on this than me.
