[Logic] Spot log

[Robert Carroll]

I used to think I was the only one with the problem, but I'm starting to
think everyone may.  Unless I am glued to the computer I am not likely to
realize spots have disappeared.  But on a contest weekend when the spots are
hot and heavy and I am sitting at the screen trying to identify contacts I
need I usually see a few of them vanish.

I also have the same problem with the spot log. I set my spot log at 3000
and have to dump it often to avoid the problem. This is especially true on a
contest weekend. I find it very annoying!!   I have reported it a number of
times.  I appears that I'm not the only one having this problem. I would be
curious to know if everyone has the problem.
I hope Dennis can fix this one. The comments on the call indexing are
interesting. Maybe this type of info will be helpful in solving the problem?
