- I agree 100% with Tree. I was away from contesting for many years and returned in 2013. One of the things I noticed was the use of pre-fills in contests. In Chapter 1 of my ham career, contest ops co

- I strongly agree, Paul. I consider contests like CQWW to be about the dumbest around, and to require the least operating skill. If you get the call right, you're done except for QSOs from countries w

- All prefills are evil. If you mis-type an exchange your software will prefill your mistake, time after time. You must catch it on the fly and correct it. Then go back and find where you mis-typed it.
