Yes, I also had the QSY to CW problem...forgot to mention that. Thanks Eric.

I do have the RTTY dta file installed. I never thought to close then open
the Rtty window as Peter suggested.  Not an obvious thing to do if it is
otherwise working okay.

Byron, I also reverted to clicking the last part of the grid exchange
providing it wasn't followed by junk which sometimes happened then it was a
matter of quick typing. 

Thanks for the comments.

I can pretty much echo Don's observations and also can add if you clicked
some calls on the bandmap the rig would QSY and change mode to CW. The calls
in my Rttyrite window did work for most of the contest though it did
mysteriously stopped for awhile in the middle of the test.

It sure was a fun contest.

73 Eric.
