From what I've seen (and I'm over 2K Qs so far), the simulator does not
use the info that is attached to the call. It just sends a section that
it thinks is appropriate for the prefix. I can tell since I have my
database set up with NCCC members, and I've "worked" some known calls
who ended up in SDGO or LAX or ORG. You'll also notice that it gets
confused with portable call signs (K5KG/7 comes to mind) by putting them
in the wrong section. I've also noticed a few that are completely
weird, but I'm guessing that's good practice for the real thing. My
database has lots of WCF and a few NL and NT also. The simulator only
"knows" about sections from the past (not sure when this stuff changed
since I wasn't active).
One other cool thing I noticed which I hadn't heard before I updated my
database: you'll get occasional "HI <name>" or "FB <name>" if your call
has your name in the file. It's definitely as close to the real thing
as can be (short of crowded band conditions). After 30 years of no cw,
the practice has been great. I'll just have to wait for the real thing
to get a sweep........

It seems to me that if you got a copy of a local club's recent FD log
or someone's recent SS log and turned it into a TRMaster.dta file
using POST you'd get those abbreviations showing up, assuming that
they worked anyone there.
In other words, I don't think that there is anything in Simulator
which would prevent it from sending these abbreviations.

OK, probably an old question, but I just have to ask:
Does the simulator know about WCF, NL and NT? I've done lots of Qs
and none of these. It does seem to use some older abbreviations, so
maybe it was written before changes to sections?
