I reported the duplicate serial number problem several weeks ago in the RTTY
Sprint
when two stations received QSO # 57. At that time no one else indicated they
had
experienced the problem, so I assumed it was some kind of operator mistake.
Now it
looks like heavier use of WL during CQ WW indicates we all made a similar
mistake or
there is a minor glitch in WL that allows this to happen.
