Yes, an operation error. N1MM+ only moves the cursor into the RST field(s) if you use the *TAB* key. The operator should be using the *SPACEBAR* key to move between the call sign and the (unique) exchange fields. There is no need to pass through the RST fields with the cursor during a contest.

If you are using N1MM and the ESM feature (common for RTTY operation setup), the default the program will pick once you have the run guy's call loaded is to send your call (correct in the sequence). But if you have anticipated the exchange and loaded it in, N1MM moves the pointer over to the exchange (which is what these guys are sending). The execution in both cases is the same (right click). That may be where this is coming from in the N1MM case. It's not a program issue though - it's an operator error issue because the N1MM/ESM flow works perfect if you are driving it correctly.

Somewhere along the way, in the past few months, I picked up the impression that one of the contest loggers had this exchange "style" as a default, and
that that is why we are seeing it more.

I know it isn't Writelog, but I don't know if it is or isn't N1MM+ or
something else. Maybe someone familiar with other loggers can look into it.

They seem to get confused when I REPLY RST? RST?.

Yeah ... we need to work on sponsors to ditch that.  Put in something
else.  Shoe size or something.  BARTG is half-way there.  :-)
