Before everyone paints N1MM Logger as some kind of villain, let me remind you that prefill has been a standard feature in contest loggers since K1EA's CT, in the late 1980's.

Is that why 15% of the QSOs in the last ARRL DX and CQWW I operated with my callsign got the state/zone wrong?
Hint - they let N1MM pre-fill and didn't copy the exchange.

In CQWW, once you have the call sign (by skimmer or otherwise), you don’t need to copy a darn thing.  N1MM already “knows” the exchange for you.

Hans - you have to copy the exchange yourself.  That requires much
skill, especially in CQWW  :-)

That’s interesting, Barry.

So in CQWW (is that a “major”?) you can use a local skimmer to decode CW, but you can’t use a local decoder to decode CW?

Did I get that right?

CW decoders are strictly prohibited in the majors.
