Yes, it makes contesting very easy and a lot more fun! If you're a 
casual contester and run "assisted" (i.e. using the cluster), it 
becomes a game to get the calls in green and red!

Don't do any surgery to your log. Send it in as is. You won't lose 
any points with the dupe, but the person you worked could get 
penalized if you removed the "wrong" QSO when your log is 
cross-checked. Let the CQWW contest robot do its thing. Hope you had fun!

I'd suggest joining the N1MM Yahoo group reflector as well. That app 
has a stiff learning curve, but is well worth the time investment. 
Glad you were able to get it working and hope you had fun in CQWW. 
Don't forget the CQWW-CW contest on Thanksgiving weekend's Saturday and Sunday!



Cheers,

Peter,
