Thanks to all that responded with notes about my lost QSOs. I still don't
know what happen but I suspect operator error on my part. I saved the file
several times; however, for reasons I don't understand the file was not
really being saved. After the restart, I could only go back to the last
saved file that was missing 150 contacts.
Did anyone manage to log the 6O0DX in the WPX contest?
