me too I think that is something I would use.... faces I remember;
names not so much....way back when, I went to introduce a girl I had
been dating for 6 months and couldn't come up with her name.... so much
for that plan! lol 73's Cort K4WI

I am posting this to the reflector to see if there are others who
would be interested or if I am an outlier on this.
During a contest, I often have people call me by name. It always feels
good to be recognized (we all like to hear our own name). The problem
is that I am VERY BAD at remembering names. I always feel guilty when
someone calls me by name, I know I should know theirs, and yet I can't
remember it.
I know there is a "friends" file that can be used on RTTY to embed
name in a transmission. What I would like to see is a similar concept
for all modes. I am suggesting there be a new window that displays the
name of the station in the log window. The name would come from a
separate file (much like SCP data comes from an accessory file). If
the name file is simple, say with just callsign and name (tab or comma
delimited), it would be easy for people to create their own name files
or download one.
Interested in any comments or if there is another way to accomplish
this that already exists.
