[NLRS] Re: Logging.

[Clare Jarvis]

Well, I thought I was one of the few dinosaurs out there.   I like using paper 
during a contest because my typing is so unreliable.  When I get done with a 
VHF UHF contest, I then enter the info in roverlog.   Roverlog runs under  
Windows, Linux and OSX.   Since I use Linux roverlog is my first choice.

My biggest grip is that the instructions for submitting a cabillo log are in a 
different place on the ARRL website that the rules, so I never get the entry 
class and name of the contest correct.  Now I don't worry about it because it 
is easier to game the robot.   It tells me that the entry class and contest 
name are wrong and then tells me what my options are.  This is much easier 
than looking for the info in what I think are illogical places.   If they 
really want you submit by computer then they would put it in the rules each 
time.  100 extra words in the rules that are store in a binary format with 
essentially zero cost to deliver.   I do not think they have thought this 
completely through.
