i am very saddened to see the scores drop from QST. 2 years ago when a
co-worker was talking up ham radio to me, i had no clue what the scores
were - they just appeared to be numbers and callsigns and i could not
understand them.
now that i have been a ham for 1.5 years, i look back at those issues of
QST given to me and smile when i see a callsign of someone i have met,
in person or on the air, and see their results. a shared event really
has a way of creating a bond, and now i will not be able to show someone
that i was part of that event by the printed score in QST (unless i make
it to the top!).
