Agree 100% with Steve.
I'm amazed every year when I look at my log check reports and see people
who have logged me in either OH or zone 4. I haven't lived in Ohio for
16 years. I'm active in just about every CW contest so it should be a
secret that I live in Georgia!
Guys need to stop being too dependent on the technology to do everything
for them. You need to log what you copy.

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.
