Fellow Contesters,
I just wanted to make it clear to the community that the getscores.org
server and connectivity resources are provided by
David, KY1V/6Y1V. Without David's generosity, we would not have the
getscores site. His company, ASPwebhosting, provides
top-notch dedicated servers.
I am the software developer of the getscores site. Pete had asked me
about the World Contest Station Database, and
I thought it might be a good fit. Al stepped in and offered his assistance.
I just wanted to give credit where credit is due. Thanks for your
continued support, David!
73, Gerry W1VE
