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.
