It turns out a little tweak to the code did me in. Once a callout comes in for a maritime mobile (/MM) station, all future callouts are treated as /MM. Maritime mobile stations do not count for country credit in CQWW and therefore no highlight.
Since N2NL/MM was spotted frequently during the CW weekend, it didn't take long for most of us to hit the bug.
As W2GD (SOA @ P40W) says:
"I discovered the problem early in the contest...so it only hurt me a little. Forced me to watch the bottom of the screen and use the mult screens more often. Surprises surprises...always something."
I'm sorry I broke it, and glad it's fixed.
73, Ken
