[VHFcontesting] New VHF Super Partial Check Database Release forSept VHF Contest

[Tom Staley]

I used to allow the look up of grids in our Multi-Op station Logging
software. However I have learned that it is too easy for a few of the high
speed HF ops to screw it up. So now I changed my algorythm so that I only
"Forecast" the grid for fixed stations, nothing with a "/" modifier in the
call gets looked up with respect to what their grid might be. 

I prefer the "Listen to what is said and type it in concept" relying on the
computer to tell you what the Grid was last time is not what I would call
good VHF contesting practice.

I've used N1MM for year.  Great logging program.

Rather than have the computer figure out who I am talking to I have this
neat thing I do instead:  I listen very carefully to the other station and
type in what the operator tells me.
