I haven't fired it up in a couple years, but I have an "emergency spare" 6 MHz
286 which ran TRLOG just fine. Dupe check was a bit slow by the end of the
contest, and I never tried SCP with it. Of all the logging software, TRLOG is
surely the least demanding of the hardware. I currently use a still-primitive
33 MHz 486, which has no problems at all up to at least 2,500 QSO's. Unless I
figure out how to make a lot more contacts, or learn to type a whole lot
faster,
a faster machine wouldn't help a bit. If you want to dedicate a computer to
contest logging, you could probably get one of these for practically nothing.
Some people might even pay you to haul it away.
