Dayton pile-up contest fact check:

1) The pile-up contest WAS computerized, but not 100%
2) There WAS paper available
3) We let people KNOW the paper was available
4) We had a few people CHOSE the paper
5) They were HAPPY
6) The ones using the computers were HAPPY

The night ended, everyone was happy. The scoring was accurate, it was
unquestionable, we didn't have any sore losers, no one made a fit about the
computers, and the feedback was positive. I was approached several times by
various hams (young and old alike) who appreciated the jump, several who
commented on the convenience of instant scoring, and several who were
overall gracious for the excellent event the club threw.

If we had no complaints from the participants, then why is the home team
making such a racket?
