Tom,
Don't know what time you go to bed, but I worked OM2VL in Slovakia at
2340 UTC on Saturday evening. Last week I only made one QSO in the CQ
WW and that was on 160. I worked HK1NA in Columbia for a new country
just after 0200 UTC. It's not really true that you have to burn the
midnight oil to work DX on that band.
BTW, we had spoken before about a good way to get the serial number
easily from the software. I've found that the JAWS frame I put around
the s/n area in Writelog continues to work well. Even though none of
the recent contests required a s/n, I keep checking it with the ctrl-n
key combo I set up. It has always worked correctly. If the s/n
always shows in the same position in N3FJP, it should work just as well
for you. If the number is in a different spot for each QSO, maybe
like adding to a column or something, it might still be doable.
Good luck in next weeks 10 meter test.
73, Steve KW3A
