This lost more contacts and appeared to confuse the autosequencer. I am very sure that I had set things up precisely as stated in the various emails.

That was my biggest source of consternation in the mock contest. The scenario:

I'm doing S&P. I see...
<-- CQ RU W1ABC FN00
Ok I'll answer...
--> W1ABC WQ5L 559 MS
<-- WQ5L W1ABC R 559 PA
--> W1ABC WQ5L RR73
At this point the QSO is logged and Enable TX turns off.
--> WQ5L W1ABC R 559 PA
Oh, he didn't get my RR73, let's double click him to keep going...
--> W1ABC WQ5L 559 MS

Argh! Double-click restarts the QSO and I wind up logging it again, if
he plays along. What I want is to just re-send the RR73 when I
double-click on a message to me containing " R ".

Also: the Best S&P at least once chose a normal (not in the contest)
CQ. Should it only select CQs containing the contest indicator?

I made 31 Qs in the mock contest hour. 14 of them were in the first 15
minutes. The rate nosedived, I suspect, due to QRM inside my skip zone
that I could not see in the waterfall. Moving around more probably
would have helped.
