          yes you're right, I didn´t consider that there is another mode
          called SSB,<br>
          which I normally don´t use and don´t like ;-))<br>
          <br>
          So your proposal to increment SN only the callsign fileld is
          empty<br>
          would be a very good solution in my view also.<br>
          <br>
          It could lead to having sent the same number twice, but when
          both QSOs<br>
          are logged with that same number and could be cross checked it
          wouldn´t be a problem.<br>
          A gap (a number without an assigned QSO) would not appear.<br>
          <br>
          When can we have it? ;-))<br>

                I see a very interesting and needed discussion here. We
                just completed another MS operation in WPX which now has
                one numbering sequence only and running with 5 stations
                you need all them to coordinate numbers. It is a mess as
                often the number is stolen from the RUN station or
                another station after it has given it out but before he
                has pressed Enter and then the wrong sent number gets
                into the log. We do use $NEXTSERIAL, etc... But a lot of
                human mistakes happen. And unfortunately it is the
                innocent caller who gets punished as he will lose the
                QSO because “wrongly copied“ exchange.<br>
                <br>
                I have seen the opinion of WT guys and solutions
                proposed and arguments presented to protect the current
                system. Well, obviously a critical mass of people have
                huge problems with this thing and we would need at least
                some optional solution. It is clear that none of the
                contest organizers require perfect line of numbers and
                what is important is that the numbers match in logs. So
                preserving a clean sequence is not an argument.<br>
                <br>
                Reserving the number somehow when it is sent does not
                quite work as in SSB it won’t work and even in CW some
                guys send with paddle, etc.. Bob’s idea abut the program
                checking what was sent and logging it is interesting but
                again not universal.<br>
                <br>
                It seems to me that the best option is to have a
                following tickable option in WT:<br>
                <br>
                ONLY INCREMENT SERIAL NUMBER WHEN CALLSIGN FIELD IS
                EMPTY<br>
                <br>
                That’s it. Let the station who has something on the
                callsign field keep the number. This way it can never
                happen that you log a different number from what is
                sent! If the QSO does not happen and you clear the
                callsign field the number gets immidiately synchronized
                again! Can someone point out when this solution would
                not work?<br>
                <br>
                If only it would not require rewriting the whole code of
                the program! Does it??<br>
