I don't believe the operator's call is kept in each QSO record in the
.BIN file.  You have to note the time of the QSO and then look at the .OPR
file to see who was operating at that time.  The station number used to make
the QSO (in a multi) is kept in the .BIN file, but not the operator's call.

For STN1.BIN see STN1.OPR
For STN2.BIN see STN2.OPR

etc.

Unfortunately, most people make copies of the .BIN file after the contest
but they forget to make copies of the .OPR and .TLK files (the gab msgs).

It would be nice if operator call was kept in each QSO record so you could
put the cursor on a QSO and determine the operator.  But, that would require
an expansion of the QSO records in the .BIN file, making the file formats
incompatible.

Wait for Version 10. :)  In the mean time, look at the .OPR files.
