Re: [CQ-Contest] Getscores, 3830, and cherrypicking

I'll break your hypotheticals into questions

1)  Who is going to man the phone lines so that dxpeditions without internet 
access can make the long distance satellite phone call to accept the  
declaration?  

Leave a message at a number.  Or declare before the contest.

2)  What happens if you can't get through, you can't win anything?

See answer to #1, supra.

3)  What about the casual guy who just happens to win an odd category and  
doesn't know that half way through?? 

Thats why I discussed MAJOR categories.  If you wind up winning #1 SOLP in the 
Virginia section of the ARRL DX test, fine.  It isn't going to change the world 
- just your world.  There is not a need to account for these ops.  But if you 
are shooting for the #! USA SOABHP or the #1 EU ABHP, or the #1 World 
Multimulti, be prepared to pony up.
