[CQ-Contest] Radiosport in QST !

Given today's online access, I really don't think the scores should be 
in QST.  They are so much easier to look at, sort, analyze, etc. online.

Personally, I find QST useless for the most part.  It's been so dumbed 
down over the years, it's pathetic.  ARRL should realize their bread and 
butter comes from longtime established members, and not the occasional 
newbie that becomes licensed, and make QST interesting to us.  Along 
those lines, I wish ARRL would have an option for which publication to 
receive.  I'd rather get NCJ than QST as my mailed magazine.
