[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Update

[k3mm at verizon.net]

So this turns into an old battle about what constitutes public vs private...

So the next question is, if a skimmer source is registered with RBN, can you connect to it directly rather than thru the RBN server, which is likely to crash like it did during SS if you dont allow direct connections...or what about alternate RBN servers?   What constitutes the RBN?
 
We dont have one worldwide packetcluster server.  What would happen if everyone in the world tried to connect to K1TTT?   Some would get in and others would be rejected.  That's fair?  Talk about cyber-warfare....
 
There are way too many questions now and no answers yet.

"Public" systems like this that anyone can connect to are all permitted as
"assistance".

Private vs. public.

Do they provide the same info? Perhaps. But that's not the point.
