[Trlog] Simulator question

[Ken Beals]

 From what I've seen (and I'm over 2K Qs so far), the simulator does not 
use the info that is attached to the call.  It just sends a section that 
it thinks is appropriate for the prefix.  I can tell since I have my 
database set up with NCCC members, and I've "worked" some known calls 
who ended up in SDGO or LAX or ORG.  You'll also notice that it gets 
confused with portable call signs (K5KG/7 comes to mind) by putting them 
in the wrong section.  I've also noticed a few that are completely 
weird, but I'm guessing that's good practice for the real thing.  My 
database has lots of WCF and a few NL and NT also.  The simulator only 
"knows" about sections from the past (not sure when this stuff changed 
since I wasn't active).

One other cool thing I noticed which I hadn't heard before I updated my 
database:  you'll get occasional "HI <name>" or "FB <name>" if your call 
has your name in the file.  It's definitely as close to the real thing 
as can be (short of crowded band conditions).  After 30 years of no cw, 
the practice has been great.  I'll just have to wait for the real thing 
to get a sweep........
