[CQ-Contest] Sharing contest real time scores between servers

[Victor Androsov]

Some corrections to the previous post. We made a mistake in the Contest
Online Score board server URL. The right announce should be like the
following:


*We need more volunteers for CQ WW CW testing!*

It’s easy:


1.  Register an account on both servers (*http://cqcontest.net
<http://cqcontest.net/>* and *https://contestonlinescore.com
<https://contestonlinescoreboard.com/>* )


2. Configure your logger with the following real score server
URL:*http://www.b41h.net/scoredistributor.php
<http://www.b41h.net/scoredistributor.php>*


3. Participate at least few hours in the CQ WW CW

73!
