[UK-CONTEST] Late results

[Dave Lawley]

Roger

You need to direct your ire at the Radcom Editor. The results of SSB FD 
were submitted for publication many months ago.

You're no doubt aware what has happened in the States - ARRL no longer 
publish line scores in QST, you have to go to the web to get them. There 
was a huge outcry on cw-contest, almost universal opposition to this 
change especially because of the effect it has on newcomers to 
contesting and those lower down the table.

The latest nonsense is that in the proof I've just seen of the 
Commonwealth Contest results, only the top seven in the Open and 
Restricted sections have their score breakdown shown (as in previous 
years) all others just see a score and position, nothing else.

I'm utterly opposed to this downgrading of contest results in Radcom. It 
will lead to us being marginalised. If we just roll over and put the 
results onto the web regardless of whether they have been published in 
Radcom, we're making it very easy for the Editor to take the view that 
he won't publish results at all. Is that what you want?

HFCC needs the support of UK contesters to ensure Radcom continues to 
publish full contest results.
