[Elecraft] [OT] contest ranking - is this a scam?

[Ian Kahn, NV4C]

All,

I received the same email several weeks ago. I followed up by Googling 
the organization and checking out their web site (using a Linux system I 
didn't care if I had to nuke when done). They are a fairly new group, 
established within the last year(if I remember correctly). I don't know 
that they're a scam, but they really need to do something to build up 
their cred if they want to be accepted by the global ham community.

73 de,
