[NLRS] Logging

Mike, very good suggestion ..... Donn ? Also, FB on passing your Extra 
Class.

PS: Paper logs are still OK as long as they are not computer generated. 
If you make more that 500 contacts (gotta check on that number) during 
a contest, if you are paper logging, you need a dupe sheet too. For VHF 
contesting this usually is not a problem with possible exception of the 
June VHF contest with a strong E opening. Bottomline is that if you do 
not want to go the computer route that paper logs are OK. Paper log 
sheet and a paper summary sheet are downloadable from the ARRLs web 
site.

Hi all,
I'm sure I've asked about this before so I'm sorry if it seems like old 
hat but I'm still stuck.

I was just reading about the sprints and it made me think of contesting 
in general. I like to participate in them when I can but I frequently 
am left feeling bad because I don't send a log in. This is something 
that I haven't really figured out yet. I've always just used paper and 
pencil to start with, but I use either a book, or a format that can't 
simply be sent in as is and the time required to transcode it as it 
were prevents me from sending it in.

I guess I'm looking for ideas, and specifics, not just I use xyz 
program. How do you use the program? Do you have a computer right next 
to the radio? Does it control, or talk to the radio? How do you type 
and talk at the same time? (I only have 2 hands lol) Perhaps stories of 
how you evolved into what you currently use?

Perhaps this could be a forum discussion at Aurora? Or perhaps people 
could simply offer advice on line here.

Thanks again all,

Mike
