Thanks Bryan for the comments, and there have been times I haven't sent in a 
log for some of the reasons you mention, ie. bad prop, too much hassle 
transfering a "note pad" log to Cabrillo format, low score, etc.

>(Sometime I just like to play radio with out the computer and with out the

Another reason logs may not be submitted by "casual" operators is that some 
operate the VHF contest and "play radio with the computer on." They have the 
"DX Summit," "50 MHz Prop. Logger," "Ping Jockey," or K1MIA's DX site 
running on their computer while operating the contest. For them, it is more 
fun to operate the contest this way and be able to see and spot stuff, and 
chat back and forth on the Internet. There is not a "single op assisted" 
entry category in the June VHF QSO Party. So no reason for them to send in a 
log.
