Ian, I also made a few contacts in the 10m contest (only 48 on CW due to heavy
work sked all weekend), and am also using a 1000MP with rig control. Running
in pure DOS on an old 486, but with CT 9.44 version. I noticed after doing a
writelog and then importing the contacts into my general logger (LOG-EQF), that
all the Q's showed up as 1.8 mhz contacts. No problem as I globally converted
them over to 28 mhz. But I did not dig into the matter to see what had
happened. It's not a repeat of what happend to you, but your post did jog my
memory and I figured I'd drop this in anyway.
