Excellent point! 15 days is a small saving -- 6-12 months is a big saving.
It would be less disruptive to leave the submission window at 30 days and
have the results posted to the web within 60 days.
BUT what happens if you are not an ARRL member - do you have to wait an
additional 30 days until, for example, the SS results are release from the
members only section? I have never understood the logic of encouraging
everyone to enter contests and then penalizing non-ARRL members with a 30
day waiting period. I wonder if this annoying and discriminating policy will
change with movement of line scores to the web?
