[CQ-Contest] Do you have to log QSO times?

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

On our trips to V47 land during the contest we would log the time at the top
and bottom of the log sheet.  50 contacts....about 10 minutes a page if
things were rocking.  Yep 300 an hour.  Sometimes we would log a time in the
middle of the page.  It helped more for the qsling later.

Remember the manual dupe sheets?  What a pleasure it is not to have to
bother with them!  K0GU wrote a duping program for the Commodore 64 so we
didn't have to hand dupe the V47 logs.  This was just the beginning.
