[CQ-Contest] Posting Scores

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I also would say that It would be nice to support what our friends are 
doing in other areas so they continue to support our contests like ARRL DX.

In regards to scoreboard watching.  You can't believe everything you see 
so never give up.  Log checking is real.  Are top competitors looking at 
it during the test and is there anything they can really do to change 
what is happening at their shack?  I guess they could see they are 
losing and try harder but I suspect the top guys are already going full out.

Where were the complaints at WRTC?  Did the scoreboard change the 
outcome?  I don't think so.
