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...
