[SCCC] gaetscores

[Art - W6KY]

Another 'excuse' not to use GetScores is many like to 
hide their results from others to see how much they will
have to manipulate their logs to move up in the scores.

Another 'excuse' is to correct all the errors from, sloppy
operating..

I can see no connection with GetScores that would
make anyone assisted.  Hey!  I can show you an article
from QST that electronic keyers would be the end of
ham radio..  A real contester would not use a keyer,
a K3, a computer, anything without tubes..  The argument
about knowing how the bands are doing is to outlaw
all transceivers with scopes.

We call  CQ TEST  ..  As I remember, when taking a
test we always handed our papers in when the bell rang.
I would like to see the bell ring within minutes or hours
after a contest.  Cabrillo, postmarks, hand delivery!

Time marches on.  Also in the contest world!

Go to getscores.org right now. Click on ARRL SSB. Click on K1TTT and you
will see his band breakdown which was updated in realtime.

As I said before, I don't think sending to getscores puts you in Assisted,
but LOOKING at getscores during a contest is bordering on if not violating
the no-non-radio-assistance rule.
