[CQ-Contest] Ham Radio in the Future

[John Geiger]

I'm far from a top op but don't really have much interest in the online scoreboard and don't have any plans to fo them anytime soon
  Hope they don't become manidory.   Just one more thing to add to the complexity of contesting to scare off new ops.
