I believe you guys are missing the point. The results WILL be
available to all. ARRL gives a preview to members one month prior to
publication for all to see. I don't think this is an unreasonable
membership benefit.
What you really should be complaining about is CQWW, where the
results are never available unless you buy a magazine.

P.S. Don't forget to work me in CQWW RTTY this weekend. Rresults of
CQWW RTTY are Web published after the magazines (CQ and RTTY Journal)
print them.

You may wish to recheck this fact -- things are changing. QST will no longer
publish contest line scores.
(see http://www.remote.arrl.org/announce/board-0207/)
"NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that as of the January 2003 issue of QST,
contest line scores shall be relocated from QST to the ARRL Web. "

Our club pays for QST but it can't read the results from ARRL members web site.
Anyhow, always it is very handy to have some friends with ARRL membership :)
