Had a shock with RSGB Club Contest SSB the other night when I found that 
SD was not recording the serial number of the contact - only the first 
digit.  I had to create a paper log.

This is an extract of the first contacts from the .ALL file:
  3688.25 PH 170712 190036 G8OO          59   001 59   001          01  
MG   5
  3683.64 PH 170712 190133 G0MDR         59   002 59   002          01   
G   5
  3699.97 PH 170712 190247 M0XDX         59   003 59   003          01   
G   5
  3702.73 PH 170712 190343 M9A           59   004 59   004          01   
G   5
  3706.00 PH 170712 190422 M0GAV         59   005 59   005          01   
G   5

Entry 2 is incorrect, it states G0MDR - that is my call sign, it should 
have been G4DDX.

But the rot may have already set in before the contest.  I had set the 
rig up  half an hour before the contest, and possibly gave some time for 
an interference spike to upset matters?

That's the only explanation I can think of , apart from the impossible 
that SD has a bug!!

Any comments gratefully recieved.
