It's a fair question to ask about what are the actual costs of running the
contest. The Director is a volunteer I believe. The website and log entry
processing is supported by WWROF. The plaques are sponsored and the
certificates are delivered as pdfs.
I personally would be very willing to support actual expenses. And I have
proudly donated to WWROF before.
But I think transparency on what they really are is in everyone's interest.
Especially those of us willing to make sure it continues.

Hello Tony:
When you submit your log there is a confirmation email that goes out to you
that gives you details how to support the software and hardware that powers the
