I had about six lockups in the contest. I have just been
playing with the program and am able to duplicate the
condition on about 50% of the attempts. The keyboard
totally locks up, but the paddle input still works, and
sends cw ok. I have to send my info with the paddle, and
write the other person's info on paper, reboot, and then
type it in, which is exactly what happened in the contest.
The sequence is most repeatable when someone answers
my second blind cq on the run radio, while I was off
working someone on the s&p radio
I had the radio sidetones turned off all weekend, but this
morning I had them turned up. I found that while I was off
working a station on radio 2, the second set of blind
cq's on radio 1 was preceded by NR# (e.g. NR1315) which
is the first part of my s&p exchange! I don't know if it
had been doing that all weekend or not. So the second set of
blind cq's comes out like NR1315 CQCQCQSS^K6LL
