[CQ-Contest] CQ-Contest Digest, Vol 263, Issue 19

[Ron Koenig]

The online Scoreboard is the present and the future.. I can't wait for
sponsors to start compelling its use.
Without the scoreboard I would have never taken the interest I have in
Contesting. I suspect many others are the same.  I cannot fathom the
reasons people have for lurking in the shadows.
I'm proud to post my Class *before* the contest, to post my score during. I
have nothing to hide and it's very enjoyable to participate with hundreds
of others.
I forget about most contests long before the results come out.. The
scoreboard gives a real time challenge, feedback and Fun factor that could
never be achieved otherwise. Thankfully, in most major contests, the
winners are on the scoreboard and the others are inconsequential.

Check the Box... Post to the scoreboard, help Helping Contesting.
