What version of WL are you running?  K5DJ sent me a note saying he thought 
the problem was fixed in v10.61E.

It was a bug I reported directly to Ron methinks about a year ago (around 
CQP time when I discovered the problem). In a nutshell, WL would not allow 
using all available messages slots for CW and SSB (Shift + Function Keys) 
at the same time.  You could have all 20 CW messages, but only 10 SSB 
messages.  If you wanted all 20 SSB messages, you could only have 10 CW 
messages.  It required changing the setup back and forth, but you could 
never have all 20 of each mode at the same time.  As the main "Crusader" 
for the extra 10 SSB message slots that Wayne kindly added, I found the 
situation a bit odd at the time.

What I am really QRX for is the "Unlimited SSB Messages" implementation 
that I hope Wayne will also do (suggested solution sent quite a while 
back).  IMHO, that will put and keep WL at the top of the Contest Logging 
Automation ballgame for quite some time!  Using external X-Keys will make 
it all rock nicely.

VERY COOL...I had so much other "stuff" get in the way of my Monster 
recording task (well, cough-cough, some contesting and the time-intensive 
IOTA NA-178 Project).  Man...you've got a massive .wav collection!  I'll 
look forward to working your fully automated setup in SS.
