Lively discussion for sure!
Here's a best and worst case scenario.
These five people post to 3830 and place #1-5 in their category:
K5ZD, W3WN, N7MAL, KG5U, N4VI
Best case is the results come out and they all stay somewhere in
the top five. Note for CQ WW CW the results came out NINE months
after the contest. I do appreciate the volunteer work done to put
the results together.
Now worse case is five other people posted great scores in the contest.
They decide not to post to 3830 and just send in their score to the
sponsor. The final results come out and the #1-5 spots are now:
N5OT, N2IC, W2SC, WM5R, W5VX
Now that is great they did well, they entered, and all that...
All that I am saying is if you have a top score then you should
post to 3830 so that in this scenario the original five don't
have to wait NINE months to find out they aren't the top five.
How do you think K5ZD, W3WN, N7MAL, KG5U, N4VI feels after seeing
that someone with a top score didn't take the few minutes to post
to 3830? That's the issue...Does waiting NINE months to find out
they've been skunked make them feel good? I don't think so!
Moral of the story is if you are a top score then you should
post to 3830...the defacto unoffical results listing.
CQ CONTEST!
