[Trlog] The annual 1B67LAX Sweepstakes thread

[David Hachadorian]

I was perusing the archives and noticed this thread,
which seems to come up during every SS. If you have
CALLSIGN UPDATE ENABLE = TRUE, and type a single digit
qso number exchange, such as 1B67LAX, 1B67LAX will be
construed as a callsign, and will not be parsed
correctly. Two workarounds are mentioned below:

-------------------------------------------It works fb
if you have:
callsign update enable = false

You just then have to edit callsigns in the
callsign window, instead of typing them in
the exchange window. For me, it's easier to
edit callsigns up there anyway. I usually have
at least a pretty good fragment in there.
