Supposing there were a website that listed real-time scores of other
stations - and that's all - with NO info on bands, band changes,
frequencies, times or anything other than their score at the moment? I
could see being interested in how I was placing alongside others. But I
cannot fathom how this would help me to improve my own score. That would be
up to me and my experience.
