Just a note off topic ARRL Will no longer take paper logs starting 2026 So my log for January VHF contest not valid! K0SHF

This has not started YET as I have transcribed SEVEN Paper Logs for this Year's January VHF Contest (and uploaded them).

However, "no more paper logs" IS going to become the 'rule' for ARRL contests at some future date.

Did you (Lenny) send your paper log via 'snail mail' and it just hasn't been received at ARRL HQ? Maybe it's just been slow in getting to ARRL HQ with all of the weather conditions that mother nature has blessed the country with recently.

Is there someone closer to Lenny who can help him generate a proper Cabrillo formatted log? I would be willing to work with Bart to make sure it CAN be submitted.
