    Wow - I couldn't agree more. I remember the 'good ole days' when Mark 
Wilson was a skinny, young sprout of a contester. His QST SS write-ups were 
FABULOUS because they had station comparisons, pictures and other interesting 
contest data. Now with less editorial pages available, the League can't do 
anything more than list scores and now that's biting the dust. 

    Web availability means results sooner as well as megabytes of more real 
interesting stuff can be made available available. I'm all for it!

Cheers,
