It sounds effective and elegant but I think it will fail in most cases due to the anticipation of the listener. Those habits and routines are so strong that even routined ops have difficulties i.e. w
Sorry to disagree (and still doing a lot of paper logging, i.e. when guest-op at a friendīs house for a few hours). Computer logging make things much easier and faster (calls need not to be written a

How much is enough interest? In IOTA 2008 the 12h-categories had 783 single-op-logs sent (World-Stations) and the 24h-categories had 496. The 24-h-DL-DX-RTTY-Contests 2003-2008 had 37 to 48 percent o
