[NSRCA-dist1] D1 Pattern Scoring System

[S Piu]

Wow, lost of correspondence in D1 over the last few days  (while I was 
out on a business trip)!

First, I'm  not in favor of a district-shared printer.  I've had two 
printers go to dry-ink conditions from lack of constant use, which would 
be a very likely scenario between contest seasons for D1. While new ink 
cartridges easily resolves this issue, via purchase immediately prior to 
a contest, the dry ink within the printer can be challenging to recover 
from.

Second, having experience running a contest essentially by myself, I am 
intrigued if the Vogel system could ease my workload with 
score-entry.    If a local WiFi needs to be set up to enable it, this 
presents the problem of wifi distance/range limitations or 
requirements.  Site-specific arrangements will need to be considered.  
My site probably has too great of distances to effectively use Wifi due 
to electric source via generator arrangement (which is set up to support 
local in-place structures that are intentionally far away from the 
flight line).  Therefore, is there a long-wired option with the Vogel 
system  to consider?
