[UK-CONTEST] Sprint penalties

I'm not laying awake at night worrying about this but I am the curious type (or so I am told...)

Say I call CQ on 3528, work x and then tune away and look around. I inadvertantly end up at 3529 (less than the stipulated 2khz qsy) and hear y who I work and then work z on the same frequency of 3529 as I'm allowed before moving off.

Question is do I lose the second 2 QSOs (on 3529) or just the first on 3528...?

I can't seem to avoid at least one instance of this in each sprint and when the totals are so low each loss is a pain. Yes I know I should use SD which apparently flashes at you if you haven't moved by the required amount but swapping programs from my normal N1MM isn't good for my brain; maybe I'll see if it's possible to set up a macro..it'd be handy for the EUSprints too.

73,
