I had a lot of fun in the RTTY Roundup this weekend, but
my log is messed up.
There are about 114 of my serial numbers missing, scattered
throughout the log. I was working on QSO number 1423 at the
end of the contest, with only 4 dupes, but the
scoring summary window shows only 1305 QSO's. I'm hoping that
somehow just the serial
numbers got messed up, which is no big deal. BUT, horror of
horrors, I am afraid that perhaps 114 actual QSO's may have
been deleted! I have a nagging suspicion that I may have
failed to press the ENTER key on some second-radio qso's,
leaving them in the darkened 2nd-radio QSO Entry Window, and
overwriting them the next time I clicked on a green callsign
in the second radio Rttyrite Window! Please tell me it isn't so!
I did have some stations tell me "QSO B4" when I called them.
Here's how you can help me figure out what happened.
If you worked K6LL the RTTY Roundup, please go
into your log, open the CHECK CALL Window, put K6LL in the
QSO Entry Window, and then check those qso's to see what serial
number I sent you. If it's one of the numbers in the list below,
please advise me directly by e-mail. Don't send me all the qso
information, just the time and band, so I can try tofigure out why
this happened. If these are real qso's, I'll write a note to the
ARRL, so nobody should get penalized for not being in my log.
I also promise not to shoot myself! If anyone has another
explanation of how serial numbers can disappear on a single
computer setup, I'd appreciate that too.
Thanks in advance for your efforts. I'm hoping it's just a serial
number problem, not a qso deletion problem!
