Congratulations on the 50 years of being licensed. Your email does bring up a
question-since you had to log your CQs back then, what did contest logs look
like? I would assume they had quite a few unanswered CQs logged in them? That
would be much more labor intensive for paper logging than what we have today!
THanks for the contest QSOs we have had as well over the years.

On August 10, 1973, I received my Novice license and called my first CQ.
(You were supposed to log your CQ's back then and I dutifully logged my
first CQ on 80 M. LOL!)
50 years, all 340 countries and some 1,000,000+ qso's later, I can
truthfully say that this is the most amazing hobby with some of the most
amazing people that I have ever met. Radio and Contesting have become
so inextricably intertwined with my life, that it is impossible to
imagine how different and poorer it would have been without them, and
without the countless friendships that I have made and experiences that
I have had.
Thank you all for being a part of it!
