I think they are about the same with maybe a little edge to the computer...but
not by much. back in the day of paper, you could write very fast of course,
but
it was the duping that slowed you down. A lot of guys would dispense with
duping and work everything....twice and sometimes three times. You duped your
logs before you sent them in.
Computers just cut down on the duping time....PLUS....added two radios....but I
think some guys were doing that in the days of paper.
I think the rates are about the same....

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you
don't
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find
any
Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common
Sense divine?
Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Run rates back in the day
Hi,
I have a question for old time contesters. Before the Internet, packet
radio, DX clusters and skimmers, what were typical CW and SSB contest running
rates? I imagine they must have been much less than current ones.
