Hi Randy:
I have a high degree of admiration for what you are doing.
I´m defending at the CQWW Advisory Committee the open log to the Contest
Community a a full record of the log to be able to play for records and top
5.
The 2006 rules already request publication of the logs.
That is a good progress.

How is audio streaming soliciting contacts? There is no request for people
to listen or work me.  I am not giving out frequency.  

It is a cool use of technology.  

By the way, I will be posting my score to the getscores.org scoreboard this
weekend too.  
If the CQWW Committee rules that it is against the rules, then I will stop
doing both. 

And Yuri, enjoy the contest!


Randy, K5ZD
