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.
