Once or twice a year you lose a Q?  Hah!  You should try WriteLog.  I 
use it for RTTY (only because TR isn't really set up for RTTY 
contesting).  In WL you press F2 for CQ, F3 for the exchange, F4 for TU 
QRZ and you still have to hit the enter key to log it.  In the WAE I 
forgot to log 7L4IOU which cost me not only the Q but also 10 QTC. 
 Fortunately I caught up with him later on another band and explained 
the problem so he could delete the Q and not get dinged for a 
not-in-log.  It wouldn't surprise me if I lost 10 Qs in that one contest 
due to forgetting to hit Enter to log the Q.  Just think, 2,000 Qs in WL 
cost 2,000 extra key strokes compared to TR.  This is true for RTTY, CW 
and SSB with WL.
