That was fun! Makes me think I should get back into contesting some more....

I did have a couple of strange things happen. The first happened when I was
CQing. Another station called me as I finished up normally with the guy that I
had stacked in the Next: box.. I sent the new caller's report but he did not
ack with RR73, In fact in that cycle I saw him calling a DX. So I tried to bail
from that Q and answer another caller but previous station's call was stuck in
the messages. None of the usual methods would clear it, even typing the new
caller into the DX Call box didn't help. I did not think to try switching to
tab 2, I just restarted the program and it was OK. Meanwhile I lost two callers
while my messages were held hostage.

The second thing happened when I called a DX and worked him. While I was in QSO
with that station someone else started calling me down the band. Well, I got a
little ahead of myself and pulled the trigger on the caller before I copied the
final 73 from the DX I was working. I worked the caller but my TX stayed on the
DX's fequency even though Hold TX was NOT checked. Embarassing, as I do try my
best not to be a frequency thief. I finally managed to finally get the TX to
move to the caller's freqency manually before my final transmission but I
didn't make a note of how I did it. 

I hope this makes sense. System is Kubuntu Linux 18.10, -rc3 compiled from
source. No CAT control, rig does not have it and the four legged furry one was
upstairs sleeping somewhere.
