At that point, why not have the computer copy, then the operator can
take a long siesta and wander back to see how the contest went. Where's
the OPERATOR SKILL in that? Like a local no code Extra who claims 100
countries on CW but can't copy CW in the real world. Just spent the
right money on computer software and computer controlled radios.

The local logging software produced by ISU students hasn't been nearly
so sophisticated and often takes more time to log than to make the
contact, sometimes two or three times longer to log than to make
contests. I ran much better scores on paper logs in the past. Besides I
don't copy to keyboard nearly as fast or accurately as to paper.
