Well there is really two solutions to the database problem as I see it.
1. We (contesting community) need to convince N6TR that an SS database of
exchange information is not in the best interest of the SS, and he takes
the feature out of his program.
2. We (you K8CC) add this feature to NA so that NA users are not a
disadvantage to people using TRLog.
Personally, I don't think a database of any kind helps to determine the
best operator in the SS. It especially doesn't when one group using one
software has a database, and the rest do not. I think a database is much
different than other "features" that various software packages include or
not.
