Just curious why US contests don't use Soaring Spot?


There are other reasons not to use See You. It is a remote facility requiring good internet access to use. Some contests in the west are held in locations where this is problematic. Being a remote commercial operation, committing to it places your future in their hands. We attempted to use it for local contests and found support to correct the bugs spotty, and access intermittent. Might be different in Europe, big market, same time zones, etc.
