I, likewise, have seen this happen.  After the 1997 ARRL DX CW from VP5, I
reviewed my log and found a few cases where the entry was logged as a 
non-(CW or SSB) contact.  I saw the screen flickering like this and my guess
is it happened when I entered some of the QSO's.

I am interfaced to an FT990.  Bill, I am wondering what kind of rig you are 
interfaced with?  It seems like I saw this at V31JP, but do not remember
and did not see it in the log, but I, usually, was not logging at a contest
rate, either.
