[RTTY] FW: WPX contest

[Alan Burgstahler]

Dick, if I remember correctly, the reason N1MM Logger doesn't assign a 
number automatically is because when the program is set up for 
multi-operator operation, in some contests the serial number is used over 
multiple bands, and when it operates as the program does (not assigning a 
serial number until the space bar is hit) the serial number isn't assigned 
(and reserved) until you do this.
