Just getting around to submitting my log for ARRL DX CW. Take a look at the
summary report:

      Call: WC1M             Section or Country:
      Mode: CW                       Category:

      BAND     QSO    QSO PTS    COUNTRIES


      160
       80    50               32
       40    673               64
       20    767               81
       15    760               75
       10    647               70
     --------------------------------------

     Totals  2899  8691   322  =   2798502

If you add up the QSOs shown for each band, they total 2897, not 2899. It
turns out that the discrepancy is two zero-point QSOs made with U.S.
stations. They don't show up in the band totals, they are not counted in the
QSO PTS total, and they don't show up in the score (all of which are
correct.) But they *do* show up in the total QSOs. This is incorrect,
especially since it's not the same as the sum of the column of numbers above
it. Note that the two U.S. QSOs show up in both the band totals and QSO
total in WriteLog's on-screen Band Summary. Also note that the 77 dupes I
had do not show up in the band totals or grand totals (that's correct.)

Clearly, both reports should be the same. Either the summary report should
look exactly like the Band Summary window, or the zero-point QSOs should be
removed from the per-band and grand totals in both reports.
