[WT-support] QSO numbers again

[Ian Maude]

However, if space reserved the number, all those issues would be  
solved.  No lockouts, no separate numbering etc.  Nice and easy.  I  
really do not see a problem.  However, I am not trying to create any  
difficulties here, it is simply my view.  I put to you that one of the  
reasons the IOTA contest allows for a second series of serials is to  
overcome the issues with software.  If it cannot be done then fine but  
IMHO it would solve a lot of problems, at least for me :)
