VY1JA disappears, CI1JA doesn't.  K4JA & K7JA disappear, W9JA doesn't.

My TRMASTER.ASC file, after UEB shows 67651 total calls, with 30865 0-hit &
12292 1-hit calls according to UEZ.  I then put K4JA & VY1JA into the .ASC
file with a text editor, UEB again & UEZ still says 67651/30865/12292.

I think UEB is the culprit.  It's a little annoying, as I have no idea how many
other calls it has eaten.  And one can't get around it by putting the calls 
back
in manually.

I think W9JA called me during a run last weekend & interestingly, K4JA's
former call was in there from way back (pre-95) with a coupla hits & old call
which I must have put in there myself.  Hopefully, how K#JA is treated
compared to W#JA & VY#JA compared to CI#JA will help Tree find what's
wrong, but he doesn't seem keen on TRMASTER/SCP, so it remains this
way (I've forgotten how long now).
