I totally agree, Bill. I was responding to a post that seemed to
contemplate total disclosure -- "XX just moved to 40, so he must be looking
for one of his famous skew path Asian mults ..." Yes, of course, a way can
be found to disclose enough to be VERY interesting without giving away the
store. Let's get on with it.

I'm hesitant. So much of being a successful contester is knowing when to
go get the hard double mult on 40, or when to put which radio on which
band, etc. Do we really want to make that all transparent to all
competitors? It would be a little like allowing the other team into your
huddle.
Depends on the granularity of the scoring and how much detail is provided.
It's quite possible to do the scoring infrequently enough and summarized
enough to conceal crucial operating information.
I know from operating at NQ4I that some of the M/Ms either call or e-mail
each other with scoring information during the course of the contest. And
there are tales of the late W4AN conversing with other contestors in
instant messaging while contesting.
If nothing else, it sounds like fun, and isn't that what contesting is all
about?
