Hi Greg
I think the last contest I did with pencil and paper was the CW WPX around
'90. I had 685 Q's and had to go through the log and sort the multipliers,
dupes, etc, by hand. That actually took longer than doing the contest. It
was a real PITA to figure mults, etc. Keeping a dupe sheet was a real pain,
also.
That was also the last time I used a bug in a CW contest instead of a keyer.
It's a lot easier with a computer. 73
