I paper log exclusively.  I think I have an old copy
of CT, but I don't think I have ever installed it.  I
manually log, dupe check, transfer from scratchpad to
logsheet/permanent log.  More often than not there is
some form of summary sheet and paper log file for the
various contest that is available to those that do not
computer log.  The contests I have entered all accept
paper logs (VHF and HF)...for the ARRL, CQ, NCJ,
etc...  Cabrillo is not the only way they accept log
submissions, but it is the preferred way.  Find the
form and send in a log.
