You haven't been paying attention, Paul.

There is no need to copy callsigns.

Just point and click.

CQWW is no longer a contest which requires a radioman in attendance.  We 
need a new category --- "Assisted - No Operator"

It still is, but in CQWW the only skill is in copying callsigns.

This has been known for at least 8 years.  Unfortunately,
it has taken until now for you, and many others, to realise
that it is true.
