Yes I do! I also remember slugging thru 40 hours of the sweepstakes using paper logs, paper dupe check sheets and a "bug." The computer, computer logging/dupe checking, is by far the biggest form of "assistance" I can think of.

The annual "what constitutes assisted" thread is silly in comparison to what my computer does for me in a contest by automating basic functions such as logging, dupe checking and keying.

I can now submit my log within minutes of the end of a contest. In the paper days it took upwards of a month. I appreciate the "assistance" my computer provides

Years back during a contest at our club station we had a special guy who was
checking dupes (remember those huge lined  sheets marked ABCD... 123...?)
I also remember doing it by myself and that was a hardship!
So when logging programs took dupe checking over that was a great relief. I
don't think that using SCP provides more "assistance" than a logger doing
this hideous job for us. Should using loggers for this purpose also be
considered as -(A)?
And the last - how much SCP will help to distinguish between VE3XD and
VE3XB?
