[CQ-Contest] You want line scores back in QST or somewhere?

[Julius Fazekas]

I know there is/was a group, and pardon me for not remembering who they are, who is slowly hand entering all the ARRL scores into a database. Help has been requested in the past, but you had to have access to the appropriate back issues. Once in digital format theoretically they will never disappear...

Actually an OCR PDF of all the historical articles and data would be interesting. I've been looking at some QSLs from the 1948 DX Contest and boy what a different world it was then...
