During the REF CW contest this past weekend, one anomoly occurred:

After closing the program using END ... and then, later, opening it  
again ... when it came up .. I tried to change to another band BEFORE  
making a QSO ... the upper 'window' in which band-by-band info is  
displayed simply started flashing over and over .. and the band did  
NOT change .. attempt to change to 20m moved the cursor to QSO # 20 !   
The flashing continued .. so  I closed the window, as END would not  
work.

To cure the problem, I was able to move the cursor up to the last QSO  
and change the band there ... then return to the input area and log  
the next contact ... then return to the previous QSO and change the  
band back to what it had been.

Frustrating at the time .. but it only happened when I tried to change  
band before making first QSO after reopening SD.
