[WT-support] WPX S/N bug

[Tom W8JI]

It doesn't matter if a S/N is skipped or done twice or out 
of order according to the contest FAQ, the only thing that 
matters is it is not in disagreement in the logs. We tried 
everything including checking multi-multi and can not get 
the SN's to work correctly and lock a number in.

Has anyone found a workable way around this problem?
