We're seeing a number of spots on the cluster network that appear to be spots of stations people work while running. Obviously this is undesirable. I've just been reminded that there is one scenario in which this can happen, more or less automatically, with N1MM Logger, particularly when not using stored messages If you a) don't hit F1 when starting to run and b) Have Spot All S&P QSOs selected on the Config menu, then the program will remain in S&P mode, and as you log each station its callsign will be spotted.

So please, N1MM users, even if you have no F1 message stored (usually where CQ or QRL? would be) Hit F1 before you call your first CQ of a new run. Better yet, store a CQ message (and maybe some others too.
