The diligent efforts of "all involved" are certainly appreciated, but please
don't let the "minor details" keep you from operating and having fun!
I know/understand about the "highlighting of calls", but I can't understand
the necessity of having a "master call" database? Without opening the
proverbial "can of worms", it seems to me..."just work all possible, give
the station sufficient chance to correct their call, if it's wrong, and send
in the log"? Call sign recognition is an important factor, and by now, most
of us should be able to recognize enough, even in marginal band conditions,
to "get it correct"? Could be another of the reasons I'm a "participant",
not a "competitor"?

C'Ya, Shelby
