[SD-User] ARRL 10 meter contest issue

[Vic Rosenthal <vic@rakefet.com>]

Forgive me if this is an obvious setup problem on my part, since this is 
the first time I've used SD (DOS).

I had the following difficulty in the ARRL 10 meter contest:  when I 
worked a KL7 (I'm in the USA), the program treated it as DX (it needed a 
serial number).  However, it then did NOT count it as a multiplier.

When I worked a KP4 (Puerto Rico), I had what seemed to be the same 
problem.  This time I tried adding KP4 to the list of sections by 
replying Yes when asked.  After doing this, the program refused to log 
the QSO, even though KP4 appeared in the list.  I finally logged this 
one by removing the QSO and re-entering it with a serial number.  This 
time, it DID give me a multiplier!

The only other funny thing I noticed was that sometimes the generated CW 
would slow down for a second or two.  I suppose this has something to do 
with the CPU being used by some other process (I was running SD-DOS in a 
window under Windows 98).
