Didn't have that particular problem, BUT I did note that TR wouldn't allow
me to enter such calls is N0SS/MM or XE1/N0SS 1D MX without having to jump
thru a couple hoops. And God knows what it'll do to them when it's time to
run the logs thru POST.
I also had a strange thing occur... something I had no clue how to fix
during the heat of the exercise (remember, it's NOT a contest!).
About 3 AM this morning, when I was really at my best... somehow I guess I
managed a particular key sequence which caused my ARRL Section Mult sheet
to DISAPPEAR and be replaced by a DX Mults Sheet. It also added "DX MULTS"
to the top of the screen.
I tried several tings, including visiting the HELP screen, burt was inable
to locate anything wihcih appeared to be the solution.
I wound up writing ALL log entries to file and exiting TRLog. I then
renamed my RESTART.BIN file and restarted TRLog.
This solved the problem, but I'd sure like to know what it was I hit to
cause it, AND what I should have done to FIX it.
