Gil, I also hit the enter key early a few times during the contest
but noticed right away when I tried to type the exchange that
the entry window had been wiped clean and I needed to edit the last
QSO to add the exchange.  I didn't see it as a problem but if you
prefer a warning you can go to "Contest/Exchange Format Setup" and
change the QTH field to "Required" so it won't take a blank field.

I recommend that you re-think X-ing those QSO's that are missing
the exchange.  It's not the fault of the ZL6 that you didn't
record his exchange and he won't be happy when he gets penalized
because he's not in your log.

One change to the defaults that I always make at the start of a
mixed-mode contest is to go to Setup/Parameter and check "Mode"
so the mode shows in the Log Window.  This is also useful in
single mode contests to explain those mysterious B's that sometimes
appear next to the sequence number.
