Zack 'et al'
I certainly filled in whatever information I heard during an exchange while
S&P. This way I could easily determine if a station I was listening to was a
dupe and then move on without wasting his/her time and mine. If it wasn't a
dupe then when we worked I just followed my exchange as I tabbed through the
fields to fill or correct any information I already had.
I highly suspect alot of people did this to me Sunday afternoon when I was
running a pileup on 40M as I very rarely had a repeat for my info in three
hours of running.
FYI: As per the current thread, Yes, I gave my callsign everytime during the
exchange, and at the end of every QSO. According to what my rate meter was
telling me [ 160/hr -180/hr ] this did not slow things down very much.
