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.
