I *usually* have SCP loaded, updated and ready to go
.most of the time.
The truth? I rarely rarely ever look at it. I am not a touch typist or
quick on the mouse, so its of very little benefit to me.
( I didnt say no benefit, mind you)
You wanna know the absolute hands-down, best SCP in existence? The gooey
stuff between your ears Joe.
I dont know how many times I have typed a callsign missing one or even 2
letters and corrected/filled it in, on-the-fly and had it be correct 95% of
the time.
The trick? No trick. You have to get on the air and be very active.
This also works in reverse too
..people will recognize your call as well.
I dont have time to be looking over at a little 1x1 check box on a laptop
screen in the heat of the battle most times. Every once in a blue moon, if
things are slow and the QRN or QRM is wicked, I might go back to a guy who
Ive only got ½ a callsign from and guess his callsign back to him to see
if its right or not. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesnt. Its not
magic and wont populate your log (unless you let it
and then you risk
getting it wrong anyways if you dont confirm the call)
Callsign recognition. Thats your best SCP, bar none.
No charge. Your welcome.

Can anyone help me with these? Super Check Partials...
If needed we can discuss this off list.
I have in the past tried to use these SCP's and just don't get it. Or I'm
just not using them correctly?
Say I get a Partial call K9T
I know there's more, and I am offered 26 more to choose from. And that's
just it. By the time I look through 26 possibles,
I could have easily just sent K9? or 9T? etc. and got a repeat much faster
and then know for sure what the correct call actually is, vs taking a guess
from the 26 possibilities on what it "Might" be.
What am I missing or doing wrong?
