[CQ-Contest] Big jump in qrz.com lookups after 10m contest

[Jimk8mr at aol.com]

My guess:
 
   a)  Not necessarily autofill, but maybe  just the difference between the 
second call area and Colorado.
 
After I operated SSB SS from WCF (thanks again, George/K5KG!) I got two  
emails asking if I was really in Florida. These were both obviously  from 
beginners.  (One said it was his first contest ever). Rather than  chew them out 
for not copying what I sent, etc., I told them yes, I was in FL, I  hope 
you had fun, and I hope you'll do it again.
 
and/or 
 
   d)  In every phone contest I get a few "Thank You  James"  (or "Thank 
You Thomas" when I'm operating at K8AZ). Do some logging  programs (not normal 
contest logging programs) check every qso with the QRZ  data base?

I  noticed that my lookup number increased by over 100 after the 10m 
contest  weekend.
Does that mean:
a)  the autofill came up PA, but I sent CO  - better verify this
b)  they couldn't copy my exchange cuz of my weak  signal
c)  I'm going to be bombarded with QSLs in a few days
d)  something else
