The use of paper logs and lack of automated sending was a major limitation in
how many QSOs I could make per hour this year, and how much effort it took to
make the ones I did.

The big problem, I remember, was the dupe sheet. I recall operating at a club station years ago in 'multioperator' mode...we had two operators, one to make contacts and one to dupe and log! The Sweepstakes is a relatively easy contest to dupe, because you can only work a station once. Contests like the CQ WW in which you can work the same station on each of 6 bands are much harder. And taking into account the insane call letter assignments that are the rule today, it's almost impossible to a decent job without a computer.
