Re: [RTTY] Had to QRT in CQ WPX RTTY Contest

It may not work for mult-ops. etc, but I have always set may AutoSaveCount 
to 1. I have never lost a Q to a computer problem, but then I may just be

write process. Maybe if I was running a couple hundred an hour, but that 
only happens in my dreams.

Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone.
