Oh! And don't forget www.getscores.org, my live contest score reporting
site.
Not much participation from VHF'ers this year, but some... Here's the top
ten
live scores reported:
*ARRL-VHF-JAN* KB1DFB 47,201 MULTI-LIMITED N8RA 8,208 SINGLE-OP NE1B 6,076
MULTI-LIMITED N1SXL 4,374 SINGLE-OP WB2JSM 1,536 MULTI-ONE K1EP 616
SINGLE-OP N9LAH 527 SINGLE-OP K2DBK 500 SINGLE-OP KA1CQR 351 SINGLE-OP K1TTT
150 MULTI-ONE
It's a great site to "look over your shoulder" to see how the competition is
doing, or, get motivated to beat them.
The site supports posting scores from N1MM Logger, Writelog and Wintest.
It has an easy-to-use XML-over-http or Web Services (SOAP) based posting
interface -- so those roll-your-own VHF loggers can also join in the fun.
All that is needed to participate is an internet connection.
BTW, posting to the site and looking at scores is "legal" for all
participants.
