In a contesting situation computerized logging can easily by the operator.
The mode and band remain constant until changed. When a station is heard-the
call is entered, a dupe warning comes up if necessary. If the station has
been previously worked of a different band or mode, even from a different
operating position in the the station, all the other info is entered
automaticly. Then just hit enter to record with a time stamp or or control
function to reject.
In a heavy traffic contest situation this logging, not even considering the
elimination of one extra person per operating position, is many times
faster. For CW work, the constants (contest info) are sent by just pushing
function keys..
