When I operated at K6UA in the early 1970s, I remember Dale getting on 75
meters with W7RM immediately after the contest to compare scores. It seemed to
be an established custom when I got there so it must have started in the 1960s.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Origin of 3830 Score Reporting
Hi,
I've been meaning to include a brief history of 3830 score reporting on the
3830scores.com web site. Personally, my history of score reporting only goes
back to the advent of the 3830 e-mail reflector on contesting.com in 1996, so
I'm not familiar with on-air reporting before that.
What's the origin of sharing claimed scores and "war stories" on 3830 kHz after
a contest? When did it start? Who started it? Thanks.
