 Plus back then the exchange included the Time and Date - the date being your 
birthday.  For which I wonder how many OCT 31 birthdays turned into May 5?
I remember my first CW SS, or at least the score, as WN3BGE.  16 QSOs in 11 
Sections in five hours.  My rates went up somewhat once I graduated to General 
Class.

Anyone have recordings of contests before computer logging? I know that 
in 1967 the winner of CW SS averaged about 30/hr, maybe less.
