I remember when Chip Margelli, K7JA visited me in the Virgin Islands
bringing along his FT-101EE. Using my call running 100 watts Chip won
first place in both ARRL Phone and CW
sweepstakes the same year. This was a feat never ever accomplished
before. He won with a good combination of circumstances, great op,
great location, and then a rare multiplier. Chip used paper logs, paper
dupe sheets, and good antennas from my shack out on a peninsula with the
ocean 50' below a cliff where the beams were on a tower. Everything
helped Chip out but not as much as his determination to get the job done.

is not warranted, and is an an undue burden to those of us that like
to dust off the "C" line or some other piece of vintage gear to do
some serious contesting!
Let's be realistic. Those dusting off the old "C" line are unlikely to
be a top scorer. :)
