Ralph - I'm not sure how you fix that, maybe someone can help you there, but
I know how it can happen:
A while back I noticed that you can wipe out the "last QSO" with alt W,
EXCEPT for the first QSO in the log.
I don't know if that's intentional or an oversight (Wayne??). Fortunately, I
was just playing around, not in a contest situation. That's probably what
happened to you, you thought an alt W would get rid of that QSO, but it
didn't. BUT, if you didn't hit return, and if you only had his call in the
entry window, I don't think that should have happened. I think a little
experimentation with blank WL sample contest is in order.

Hope you get advice on what to do now.
GL, Don W6FFH
