Truthfully, I wound up using the Check Call window hardly at all in 
the contest, so I can't say how it performed relative to other 
contests.

I _did_ experience the same as you regarding the module not keeping 
the setup information. Every time I closed and then opened the log, I 
had to re-enter that data. Like you, I'm sure that once you enter 
this information it should be stored for future use.

All in all, though, the module worked well and I had no other 
problems during the contest. A nice piece of work.
