In a sense, this is one positive for promoting more contest activity
because now the non-member who participates in an ARRL contest can see his
score published on the Internet. As a non-member and not a recipient of
QST, I assume it was difficult to find out how they had scored compared to
others in the same category. This is what is called observing "the glass is
half full."

ARRL has been publishing contest results in Members Only for the first
month or so, but then moving them to the open section. So non-members
have been able to get a free ride (if one were willing to wait a
month) - no need to join or to even buy QST to see the results. I
suspect this procedure will continue.
