So in your viewpoint, "always-on" Internet connectivity is a requirement to participate in such a real-time event? Not at all. It would simply be a requirement for those who wish to take advantage of realtime statistical feedback. The system could work for folks with un-dedicated dialup by periodically connecting and doing things as a batch process. Rovers and hilltopers could simply upload their logs within 36-hours of the event closure (and wouldn't have the thrill of watching things unfold in real-time). No matter what, official results could be posted within 30-days or less. Imagine a gamer-like system that can show real-time stats like this: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- UTC Time : 18:25 Event Time Elapsed : 00:25 Category : High Power Single Op Participants: 467 Total, 251 as HPSO Top 5 Participants in USA 1:855 2:756 3:692 4:691 5:624 (uncertified) Top 5 Participants in ARRL Section 1:624 2:512 3:333 4:191 5: (uncertified) Your Score : 624 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't get too wrapped up in the details above, this is just a first-whack and an all-text representation of a concept. Such a system could be so cool! :) Ev, W2EV _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/vhfcontesting |
