Just one note on NONCW that may or maynot be the cause.  RF.  When my =
antenna is pointed at my house,=20
I get RF overload in the shack.  If I log the contact while =
transmitting, it would change to NONCW.  I am
using rig control so I think the RF confuses the program on what freq I =
am on, thus the change to NONCW.

I replaced all the serial cables (rig control, CW, voiceblaster, and =
TNC)  and do not have the problem anymore.

Just an Idea

    Hi Folks.
   =20
    Have taken part in CQ WW CW and made my highest score ever. Learned =
quite a few more things of the TR.
   =20
    However last sunday suddenly had spare time for joining the 10 meter =
ARRL contest.
    Set up the program and started.
   =20
    But
   =20
    in my 6th QSO I misheard a figure from a UA3. - I got UA4 and was =
now in the next field. He corrected me and I used Shift-TAB to move =
backwards (just returned after 8 days from work using the Shift-TAB for =
all entries in their work)
   =20
    Of course it didn't work, my help paper (table 13 - cursor movement =
keys not there) so I used CTRL/ALT plus ? - It didn't help, so I went to =
the suggestion from N0SS - Tom - use the NOTE function, and so I did. - =
Made a note.
   =20
    3 QSOs after that I suddenly saw that
    10CW to the left was replaced by NONCW ???? - Wondering. - Try to =
look up what to do, but couldn't find anything of NONCW. Tried using the =
ALT-M key, and got CW - SSB - FM but not the NONCW.
   =20
    At the same time the whole window
    160  80  40  20  15  10  ALL
   =20
    dissapeared
   =20
    The only thing left was:
    Time
    CW QSO
    CW Domlt
    CW DX mt
   =20
    Went in edit mode ALT-E and could move cursor up and to the left. =
Replaced the NONCW by 10CW and was happy. - ESC and Yes to save.
   =20
    But now the default to the coming QSL was 160CW ????
   =20
    Tried to move band up/down by ALT-B and ALT-V. - Impossible.
   =20
    Well looked in the manual and continued. - After 3-4 QSO's I went in =
edit and changed 160CW to 10CW.
   =20
    The logging gave 4 points in both 160CW and 10CW. They moved from =
the 160m row to the 10 meter row and updated prefix and states.
   =20
    But I still wonder. - What happened, and could I have done something =
about it?

    UPS. A bit strange to see the abbreviation for the US states as ex. =
Ky instead as KY.
    The prefixes are all in Capital letters. - Is it for separation =
between PFX and States???. - It just looks strange to me. Never seen it =
before.
