[CQ-Contest] NAQP CW this weekend

[Randy Thompson K5ZD]

I do not understand why you feel an obligation to remove features from the
scoreboard to prevent an entry being considered as "assisted."

>From the NAQP rules:

"Access to spotting information
obtained directly or indirectly
from any source other than the
station operator, such as from
other stations or automated
tools, is prohibited."


There is no definition as to the meaning of "spotting information."  When we
look at the general ARRL contest rules and at the CQ contests, the concept
of spotting information generally includes callsign, frequency, and time.
The scoreboard provides none of these.

I found use of the scoreboard to be very enjoyable during NAQP CW.  It
definitely helped me stay on the air and make more QSOs than I had planned
or would have given the conditions.

The scoreboard should include all features.  If someone doesn't want to
contribute their band information, they can choose not to do so in their
logger.  If they feel looking at the band info changes their category, they
should choose not to click on the link that takes them to that info.


Randy, K5ZD
