For N1MM or N1MM+:

1.  Create new contest for the CQP:    File -->  New Log In Database.   Then QSO Party --> CA from drop-down menus.

2.  Import CH file:  File --> Import -->  Import Call History.   Locate your downloaded CH file.  Click OPEN.

7,398 callsigns should be imported.  Database was built from NAQP, CQP files + all the 1x1 callsigns being used this weekend.

3.  From the Config Menu, turn on "Enable Call History Lookup".

4.  Type a callsign in the Entry Window, hit the space bar, and the 4-letter County abbreviation should appear.

Remember:  CH Files are a crutch.  They can be an effective supplement to help you during a contest, but they are NOT a substitute for copying an accurate exchange.  Your ears and brain do that job very well.  Listen carefully to what the other operator is sending, and quickly check it against the pre-fill information for consistency.  Make changes if necessary -- but ALWAYS rely on what you're HEARING and not what you're READING, and your error rates will be low.
