I use a SCP database created only from my own logs.  I have no ethical
dilemna with using it.  I copied all the information in it myself. 
(unfortunately as the busted-call/exchange report illustrated, not
always correctly!)  

Off the top of my head, I remember that K4WX's check is 57.  I remember
that K6LL's section is Arizona.  I remember that K3WWP prefers QRP & his
precedence will probably be Q.  The SCP database is an extension of that
part of my own memory.  Of course, I can only use that SCP database to
*suggest* what elements of the exchange should be - if I'm certain I
just heard K6LL send "AL" as his section, I'm probably going to ask for
a fill.  

SCP databases of calls copied by *others* (or filled in other ways) I'm
much less fond of.  One is actually letting other people copy
information for you.

.....N2AA is clearly getting way TOO old, he states:


"I have a room at the Clown Plaza for Thu,Fri,Sat nites.
Looking for someone to split it with.  Since political beleifs have no place
at these wingdings, I would even consider a phone man."



Gene, you give new meaning to being politically correct on the one hand and
on the other lemme ask you what about phone gals?

And if  she were voice-inclined I guess the thought of a QSO, otherwise
known as phone-*** is just plain out of your mind, eh?

Oh well...I guess the anomalies of the 20 meter band are still locked inside
that radiant dome, but it appears youthful thoughts of exotic "DXing" are
long gone....

Having roomed with the man before, I guess I shouldn't talk......heah,
someone out there take advantage of this opportunity to multi-op with N2AA -
you could even get yourself one of those 1999 Hamvention shirts and have it
stenciled "I slept with N2AA"....

Just a thought......see everyone at the party!
