I don't have the white dot, but I also have my call stored in SEND1. Last
night in the DX contest I did notice that I was losing the first few
characters.
This was the first time that had happened, and I've been sending my call
from SEND1 for quite some time. Re-recording my call into SEND1 remedied the
situation.
