    Shrewd? I don't think that's a term that's ever been used to describe 
anyone in the amateur radio publishing business. 

    I'll just throw this on the fire. CQ magazine reluctantly publishes 
contest scores because they take up so much room in the magazine (it costs 
money). The contest results issues are the least liked by the majority of CQ 
subscribers and have the lowest monthly sales so there's not much incentive 
for ANY magazine to put them in their magazine. CQ would love to abandon 
publishing contest scores just like the ARRL would like to do.  

    And I don't think it's necessary to cross-post everyone that's made a 
comment on this discussion that's from the League and doesn't subscribe to 
cq-contest. Please check the addressees before hitting the 'send' button.

Cheers,
