And I'm not up on oall the details. But the 'different qsos' part did catch my eye. One of the 'gotchas' of using the awards module is that window that opens up prior to finishing that ask 'do you want to mark these qsos as credited?' I clicked on yes once by mistake. That resulted in a changing of my credits. The 'default' is YES, it's easy to be a 'quickclicker' and miss that. That could result in a subsequent awards process showing different results than expected. ----------------------------------------------------- "The older I get, the better I used to be." ----------------------------------------------------- Bill H. in Chicagoland webcams at http://76.16.160.118:8080/ weather at http://hhweather.webhop.org
