Re: [CQ-Contest] Real Time Scoring and Quick Submissions

The LOTW add on might be the most difficult piece.  I am not sure how 
much value there is to the random guy to have his LOTW contact 
immediately available.  I think there is more value in randoms having a 
website where they can go and confirm they made the contact which we 
have with Clublog and other services now.
