I agree also.  I forgot to enter the S/N for my 2nd QSO with ZF2NT.  When I 
realized it, the number had long since scrolled off the screen.  I also 
forgot to enter a state for some W9 but caught it in time.  If I had been 
more serious in the contest, I probably would not have made these mistakes.

I ran Writelog 10.28 with Windows XP Pro and MMTTY 1.62.  Except for a 
couple of times when the software transmitted a solid carrier for several 
seconds before the FSK tones started, I had no problems with 
Writelog/MMTTY/WinXP in 155 QSOs, even though I kept DX4WIN open and had 
another background job running that consumed all spare idle cycles.
