Had a shock with RSGB Club Contest SSB the other night when I found that SD was not recording the serial number of the contact - only the first digit. I had to create a paper log.

This is an extract of the first contacts from the .ALL file:
3688.25 PH 170712 190036 G8OO 59 001 59 001 01 MG 5 3683.64 PH 170712 190133 G0MDR 59 002 59 002 01 G 5 3699.97 PH 170712 190247 M0XDX 59 003 59 003 01 G 5 3702.73 PH 170712 190343 M9A 59 004 59 004 01 G 5 3706.00 PH 170712 190422 M0GAV 59 005 59 005 01 G 5

Entry 2 is incorrect, it states G0MDR - that is my call sign, it should have been G4DDX.

But the rot may have already set in before the contest. I had set the rig up half an hour before the contest, and possibly gave some time for an interference spike to upset matters?

That's the only explanation I can think of , apart from the impossible that SD has a bug!!

Any comments gratefully recieved.
