I operated at a multi-operator setup where the N1MM logger was in use
last weekend. It was connected by telnet to an active packet cluster.
It was quite an experience, as Julian describes. I imagine I could have
done quite well hunting and pouncing without even knowing Morse! As I
tuned the receiver to a loud signal, the call appeared, most of the time
correct. Note that the program wasn't decoding the CW, just comparing
the rx frequency to the cluster spots.
