The North American 6 meter sprint is going on right now. The band is not open for DX. Only 5 stations are participating in the RTS and boy, are they close in score!

Without Real Time Scoreboarding, it would be easy to give up and go watch TV with the family. With RTS (and participants seeing just how close they are to each other even in score), I wonder if that will happen as frequently. :)
It's not too late to try it yourself (unless you're reading this after the sprint is over, of course). Go to http://www.RFSport.com to download the SportLogger, turn on your HF rig and press the <50-MHz> button and give it a go! The system works even with dial-up users.
