Hi there. I find it really fishy if you have to hold back your claimed score days after the contest. Live score MUST be mandatory for the top scorers these days. It is another level of honesty if you
"Holding back you score? Why? Adding mults and qsos? Cleaning log?" No. It's because I am computer illiterate and it takes me some time to figure out what form the submitted log has to be and how to
Really? The contest ended just shy of 3 full days ago, and you're already demanding that people turn in their claimed scores? And you want an 8 hour post-contest deadline? Why? What's the rush? 5 day
Just thinking out loud here, but perhaps there is a concern of people changing their category AFTER claimed scores are posted, and will post their scores after the deadline. Or maybe they just don't
It is *WELL KNOWN* in the contest community that there are a select few ops who usually post their score to 3830 either after others in their 'WRTC Zone' / Province / State or Country have posted to

What's the purpose of posting claimed scores to the 3830 reflector? I doubt it very much the intention was to generate a wave of 'conspiracy theories' after each major contest, as it seems to do. Wha
There's no requirement to post claimed scores. The only requirement is to file your log to the sponsor on time. 73, kelly, ve4xt Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ CQ

I find it really fishy to besmirch an honest man's character based on a delay of an entirely optional activity! There is no requirement to post claimed scores, only to file on time. I think Helmut ow
3830 is a great place to submit a story of your operation along with your score but I do not see the urgency in posting that DF7ZS does. Many of us have other things going on in our lives besides con

I don't think Helmut was referring to 3830. There is no requirement to post claimed scores, only to file on time. I think Helmut owes Art an apology. 73, kelly, ve4xt Sent from my iPhone ____________
