[CQ-Contest] [N1MM+] New Super Check Partial files available VER20200202 (02 FEB 2020)

[Robert Busch - DL7VOA]

Hi Joe,

Chris is right, SCP helps a lot when additional personal “experience“ of the OP is added, like frequent contest callsigns (see his examples) or knowledge about (im)possible propagation paths at the moment or you were just missing the prefix.
SCP helps in increasing the rate in pile-ups and long time ago I decided to give it a guess to the most likely proposed callsign instead of asking for repetition. My guesses are ok in more than 2/3 of the cases so it helps. 
And sending a ? with whatever information just urges many of the ‘unwanted‘ callers in the pile-up to repeat their call and slow down the rate with additional QRM (just by ignoring the ‘whatever information‘ and hearing only the ?).
