About sharing scores. Why ScoreDistributor.net? (updated)
We are lucky to see more and more contesters publishing their instantaneous scores on the online scoreboards. Thousands of them have already registered their profiles on one of those available.
Many have asked which scoreboard to use during the contest? Currently, there are two. The answer: You could use the one you like the most, or use both, as a few advanced guys do. By configuring your logger to send scores to ScoreDistributor.net, you’ll always have a choice of which scoreboard to use since your score will automatically be shared with all of the existing scoreboards. That way you only need to configure your logger once and forever!
Why Score distributor?
- Redundancy. Your scores always will be published even if one of scoreboards will be down. In the last CQ WPX CW one scoreboard was offline due some DNS issue. But all contesters using the Score distributor were online on the another one
- Sharing scores with the whole world. Sending your scores to the Score distributor will publish them on all the existing today scoreboards.
- Easy to use. Once you have configured your logger to send scores to the Score distributor you can forget about scoring option forever. Just keep it always on. Your score will be everywhere.

Carpathian CUP 2019 scoreboard
We’ve been proud to provide scoreboard service to the on-site ham radio competition Carpathian Cup held every year in April.
This year Carpathian Cup was scheduled for April 5-7 with the competition day on April 6. There were two sessions by one hour split by 2 hours intermission brake. The beauty of that event is in a small footprint room it could use for few desks where one desk for one participant:
The maximum transmitting power is limited by 5 watts only. And a 8 watts resistor dummy load should be use as an antenna! If a maximum power will be exceeded – the dummy load will burn out shortly and that participant gets off the competition. That’s the best power monitor I’ve ever seen! ))
This year there were 16 participants from two countries – UR and YO.
Two WRTC guys were among them. Just seven participants were using our scoreboard.
Every session a new callsignes have been assigned from the block of UW34OZ– UW37OZ.
Every participant gets a new call just few minutes before a new session start.
Everybody could see an own standing on the scoreboard other special calls standings as well.
We have setup the Carpathian Cup scoreboard to hide all the participants personal calls. So nobody can get other special callsignes owners!
Our congratulations to the Carpathian Cup 2019 individual winner YO8TTT and to the Dorna DX Group (YO8TTT, YO8SS) won the club competition!
Welcome to the next year Carpathian CUP! The competition home web site is here http://carpathiancup.com/en/
