[CQ-Contest] Run rates back in the day

[Lee Buller]

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.

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.
