Don, et al,
That brings up an interesting question. What exactly is meant by
"progressive" serial numbers?
Does that mean each qso gets a unique number? ie you never send the same
serial number to two stations.
Or does that mean that each serial number you transmit MUST be greater than
the last one? So that if you send serial number xxx and 5 seconds later you
send a serial number one less, you have a busted qso?
I tried to be careful about re-entering calls when I actually worked
stations in a different order then I planned. But there were times when I
sent out a serial number one less than one a few seconds ago. Every one was
unique however. Writelog seems to be fixed in this area now.
