Hi Gerry,
I´ve been using getscores for long now, and we at Rio DX Group encourage
people to do so.
I think it adds extra fun to contesting, both from a competitor´s point of
view and from outside as well.
I just noticed that many "old school?" operators dont like it, and thats
why I posted those questions.
73,
