[CQ-Contest] Online Scoreboards

[Dale Putnam]

After reading all the comments.. and rethinking about all this.. once again.. over it all .. again.

It seems to me.. that the ONLY one that I can COUNT on.. to be ethical.. is ME.

So the fruitless and wasteful exercise of comparing scores.. with ANYONE.. is a complete futile.

Then.. one goes on down this slippery slope..  Since I am the only one that I trust..

and MY score is the only one that hasn't been jacked up... that I know for sure...

Then WHY BOTHER playing this game?   To see how I stand in a corn field with ...   .. with...

well.. ... can't say peers.. can I?

OR

Simply throw ethics out the window and jump into the swamp.


Makes one not wonder so much any longer about the actual longevity of real contesting in general.

Unless, the definition of cheating is re-written, the scope of contesting no only includes the radio, and op skills in using

that radio, after assembling the optimal hardware.. but also includes the skill of managing the previously outlawed

Qs from social media and the like.


NOW I GET IT!!


But.. I don't want it!!! Don't want that skillset.

So.. I choose the not play that game.. have fun.. if you can doing that.

I choose, to play according to the rules.. strictly.. with MY chosen set of hardware.. optimal? nope..

but then.. it is what I have.. and what I have made.. and it provides me ethically attained rewards, and fun.


Have a great day,

FRC has done this for years in the club chat room during a test, however, if you are single op there is the danger of the "inadvertent " passing of information from non single op stations.

So many that it won't make any difference since "everyone does it" no one will care. Right? That is the entire idea of making that feature. So much for ethics.....   have fun guys.

Make this a great day
Dale
