Dan and other NON-computer contest loggers,
You DON'T need to use Cabrillo format for NON-computer/electronically generated
logs!!! Just the official contest form or acceptable facsimile. Please see
the snips below from the ARRL web site at:
http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/rules-all.html.

5.Paper Logs:
5.1.Entrants must use official Contest Forms or acceptable facsimile.
5.2.The most current forms should be used, as scoring rules, ARRL sections,
etc, do change periodically. Paper submissions that have incomplete or missing
information may be classified as a checklog.
5.3.Handwritten logs files, showing required QSO information, are accepted for
all ARRL contests.
5.4.Handwritten logs that have been transcribed into a word processor,
database, or logging program after the contest are considered electronic logs.
The electronic log file in Cabrillo file format for these logs must be
submitted.
5.5.Paper entries with 500 or more QSOs must include band by band dupe sheets.
5.5.1. A dupe sheet is an alphanumerically sorted list of all contacts made
during the contest, sorted by band and mode as appropriate. A list of duplicate
contacts does not meet this requirement.
5.6.Paper entries should be submitted to: ARRL, 225 Main St, Newington, CT
06111 with the contest name clearly marked on the envelope. It is recommended
that the sender obtain a receipt showing the date the entry was mailed in case
a problem arises.
5.7.Only one contest entry may be included in each envelope mailed to ARRL.
