I suggest you ask DARC and SRR about hit levels on their websites following
the listing of claimed scores.

Well of course the majority are from the US.  And as we know, American
contesters are a completely digfferent breed to we Europeans.  Their
attitudes are bad, they're hung-up on feedback and many of them have two
heads.

Dinosaurs didn't move with the times.  If you want to get ahead, you don't
have a choice.  Both are required.

Your arithmetic is different to mine.  If the average adjudicator has a few
evenings a month to apply to this work and it will take one of those
evenings to do this, then why would results be delayed by a few weeks or
months as a consequence?  This is not a trick question.

Anyway Justin, I've pushed enough water uphill for one evening.  I'm off to
bed.
