I didn't see this.  I repeatedly CQ'd from F1 or F2 after an Alt-D Dupe 
check;  the call stayed in the on-deck-circle and I could call him on the 
second radio with a whap of the space bar.   My problems happened when 
someone didn't come back on the second radio, and I escaped too many times 
-- then the call stayed in the on deck circle, but the space bar didn't 
send CW on the second radio...
