That is not true.
Stew Perry is unique as you get more points for working low power stations
but power is not part of the exchange. The final score is determined after
the logs are sent in.
Paper logs would just have to be input by someone.
You let the scoring system calculate the final score.
Yes computer logging is more convenient but not a must have.
>From what I have been told from contest sponsors, less than 5 percent of the
logs are not computer Cabrillo files.
Are many people still doing hand written logs? I would have guess more
voice recorders that were transcribed after the contest.

It would virtually eliminate those who do not use computer logging.

Guys,
How about using the Stew Perry 160m contest as a model for distance based
scoring? Granted, its only single band, but certainly a lot of good things
there. If it can be done on 160m, why not on 6m or any other VHF band for
that matter?
I know Frank mentioned that it would be great for the ARRL to take the lead,
but I honestly think that you have to establish the contest first before
they will pick it up.
Why can't we get a group together and make this happen? There are enough
bright and talented organizers here to bring this about.
I'm all for it.
