I managed 182 QSOs in the first 12 hours with 5W from my K2. Down on 
last year (when I won the Island 12hour QRP section) but conditions 
were poor to say the least.

Used DOS version 10.04 of SDI - the Windows version continues to 
exhibit locking out of the time display when the serial rig control 
is active, as I reported a few weeks ago on SD. The DOS versions and 
earlier Windows versions of SD don't exhibit this problem (Windows 
98).

I did note a couple of anomalies with 10.04:
My own island reference EU005 as displayed at the bottom of the 
screen was missing its final digit and was shown as EU00
When I changed bands with the rig via rig control, the time display 
in the active QSO field momentarily showed BST and not GMT.

But I imagine these minor bugs have long been cured in the current 
version...
