Actually, many of us did.

I used the 5BDXCC sheets that Cuschcraft used to give out in Dayton every
year.

I color coded SSB qsos red, cw qsos blue, and a black dot indicated when it
was confirmed.  5BDXCC all on one 11x14 sheet of paper with 3 'Flair' pens.
Very low-tech.

It was all done on paper - and - imagine this - much of the details were by
memory!

It was not uncommon for people to remember facts like who the QSL manager
was for an operation - even two of them - one per mode like for this K1B
operation.

Bob N5NJ
QCWA, DXCC
