[CQ-Contest] On Line Scoreboard

[kq2m at kq2m.com]

K4SBZ asked "How are you helping to promote contesting if you don't tie 
into the scoreboard?"

Hmmmm....  let's see.... in 5 minutes I cam up with:

1) Operating in it,

2) Discussing it on your club's reflector and/or website and encouraging 
participation in it

3) Spotting participants while they are operating

4) Doing a presentation on the contest afterwards and analyzing/sharing 
operating strategy

5) Doing a detailed write-up after the contest and posting it on a 
contest reflector/club website

6) Doing a multi-op and inviting other ops to operate with you and/or 
inviting non-radio guests to drop by and
observe while you talk to them about what you are doing and why?

6A)  As the station owner/operator you can also teach non-licensed 
guests what to do and they can participate IN THE CONTEST
under your supervision!

Is that enough promoting contesting or do you need to see more?

Bob, KQ2M
