Small point of clarification.

SCP only contains callsigns (that may or may not be on the air).  It DOES
NOT contain any exchange information.

That said, there are people who maintain and/or use databases of historical
exchange information.  They often have a lot of busted exchanges (and
penalties) in their scores.
