These days keeping a log has been made much easier by the introduction of
computer logging, both for general log keeping and for contesting.
Gone are the days when I used to have to try and read my own scrawl and
re-write it onto a contest log sheet, then work out all the dupes and finally
score it.
There are some great programs around nowadays for doing all the hard work
and I often send my logs off by email within 24 hours of finishing the contest.
The job of keeping up to date with QSL chores couldn't be easier either,
now that we have such good software around.
