Several times the other station failed to receive my RR73.  I addressed this problem by clicking the TX5 radio button then [Enable TX] to send the 73 message.  That worked.

I think it would be helpful for the called station to return a 73 message in response my RR73.  As things are now, if I received nothing after sending RR73, I do not know if the other station received my RR73 or if I could no longer copy the other station due to band conditions or QRM.  If the other station started a new CQ, I took that as confirmation.

I worked 47 in the mock contest.  I was surprised at the number of times a station that responded to my CQ on my frequency failed to move frequency at the end of the exchange.  I also discovered that when two or more stations answered my CQ, all but the first station I answered were generally gone by the time I called them.  I transmitted the "TU;..." a couple times, but it never resulted in a contact.  I gave up trying to grab the second caller.

It was a fun contest.  For me, logging worked without any problems. In fact, RC5 worked perfectly.

the autosequencer. I am very sure that I had set things up precisely as stated 
in the various emails.
