[UK-CONTEST] Cunning plan

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

It is very true, you don't need to, but if you want to see your score  
in the results pages, you do need to be a member.
For many younger people, that's the driver, not beating your previous  
score or doing it just for the 'enjoyment', but seeing your name on  
the page.
