I can't remember for sure who it was ("Too much history, too little memory"
-- K3KU), but Saturday night somebody had his/her/their message file
mis-programmed.  The SENT report began with the sender's call instead of
the of the QSO's call.  Instead of the expected form

K3KU W9xxx 234 George IL


it came out something

W9xxx W9xxx 234 George IL


At least in the Run mode, the sender's call never appeared.  I heard it
twice.

I am absolutely NOT suggesting a DQ.  I just want to alert the fumbler in
case the error would propagate to other Sprints.

I'll forward this email to the op who might have been the perp.  Other
participants might want to check their message own programming

73, Art K3KU
