In view of the many discussions regarding the pros and cons
of using the leader board facility on ClubLog;
I think the leader board is a great facility and would
prefer to see it being used at all times, but I do see the argument against
using it. There are simply far too many that suffer from compulsive-box-ticking-disorder
(CBTD).
Maybe ClubLog should consider having an alternative leader
board facility?
Have a tick-box for each and every band the expedition plans
to operate on and place a tick regardless of the operating mode. Then have a
tick-box for each of the following modes: CW, PH and DIG.
Assuming the expedition will be operating on 160m through 6m
on all modes, then there will be only 13 tick-boxes (10 bands + 3 modes).
A further refinement to the above proposal might be to have
a numeric value visible in the tick-boxes to indicate the
number of QSOs. The objective should be to have only a 1 indicated in each band
tick-box, a value of 2 or more should be frowned upon as being selfish and
having little regard for the needs of others.
The above idea might satisfy most DX chasers?
We all love seeing how we fare against our peers and that is
why we love the leader board, but there is simply no merit in working the
station on each band in each and every mode.
The main objective should be to green out the band tick-boxes and to work the entity in each of the 3 modes.
