The response provided earlier is the opinion of the N1MM Development Team. We do not intend to send simultaneous scoreboard reports to multiple servers, nor do we intend to support different protocols for every scoreboard server that appears on the Internet.

We expect the scoreboard developers to interoperate among themselves to deliver complete contest scores from any site – just like the packet spot network presents a complete picture from any packet host. Please don’t create a fractured contest reporting service by making your customers decide which site to use for which contest (because they might not choose yours).

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for the idea. But I guess in this case voting wouldn't make any
sense. No one except logger developers knows what does that mean to develop
some additional feature for a logger. No one knows except online board
server script developers what does that mean to develop cross servers score
exchange API and what kind of impact on the server performance that would
produce.

I would like to say we are trying to discuss that option. But it's too
early to say something.

Anyway that's always good to have different options ready to go. BTW I was
watching how N3FJP logger clients have been visible on both score boards
during the last CQ WW RTTY. That dual-board option was working flawlessly
for them. Would be interesting to get N1MM, DXlog and other guys opinions
about that dual (or multiple) score board feature.

73!
