I think there might be a rough edge there.  I also noticed that
your CQ back on the run radio ends up on the bandmap on the frequency
of your Alt-D QSO - which was fixed by removing CQs from the bandmap.

I took a few other notes as well - was my first real contest with
one of the newer versions.

However, the program worked okay for me - I did have one strange thing
where I ended up in the exchange window and the keystrokes were not
doing anything.
