Internet and real-time scoreboarding is an option, not a requirement. If there is no Internet connection at the station, then one simply gets a logging system that does both DX-based and Zone-based scoring.

It is a b-a-s-i-c logging system with only two features: Dupe checking (no super check partial!) and Grid4 heat mapping.  That last feature displays a world-wide map, with Grid4's displayed. When you work a Grid4 (even if you're exchanging Grid6), it colors it in. As you work more stations in that grid, the shading changes.

See some events, historically at http://www.RFSport.com

There's more cool stuff built-in, but this is a good "tickler". :)

Shall we have a Summer Sprint to test-fly DX-based scoring in North America?

Kind regards,
