[CQ-Contest] SS exchange & lazy folks

Here is exactly what I said: ""callsign from the exchange"".......
The very first thing you enter, in any logging program, is the callsign. 
That is how you determine who are you about to work and not a dupe. With 
N1MM & CT  you need not type in the callsign a second time, during the 
exchange.

If you don't enter the fellows call sign, how does it get into your log?

  Hans I only have experience with 2 different contest logging programs. 
N1MM & CT.
  In neither of those programs do you have to enter the callsign from the 
exchange.
  There is a philosophy regarding not entering the callsign in the exchange 
field while requiring it to be sent..... ( I won't go into it here).......
  I never typed in a callsign, yesterday, from the exchange and it still, as 
if by magic, appears in the Cabrillo file.

  p.s. for K7WHY: I worked the same guy you referred to....

  Had a very small number like that.  I knew what their call was, so I just
  filled in the blank.  Didn't hurt a bit.
