It could be done today. Not entirely different than real time scoring on steroids. To stop any Tom foolery the contacts to be uploaded would be encrypted. Once you hit enter that qso is locked in...Done no corrections.

Start on a Sprint or a CWT or similar 4 hour event or maybe even a one hour event.

Buffering, my boy, buffering!

The online gamers don't seem to have too many problems. Yeah, there are outages and they shriek in fury. Our game would go on apace (except for maybe no spots) but there would be a backlog (see, the log will never die) to upload once service is restored. And I'm sure completely off-line entries would be acceptable.

We just need to start moving in this direction to see what problems arise.

    I would prefer in the long term that QSOs are submitted in real-time


As great as that sounds, that will be a long time coming I expect and hope, considering how often my internet goes down...
