Gary,

I posted a similar message to the list after the wpx but it seems to 
have gotten lost (got my come back but saw nothing on the list)

I have has a rash of these messages for some time. I though that version 
11.01 might help clear them up but not so.

I am running a WinXP dual core processor, with WL 11.01F. After setting 
up for the contest with all running ok, I went off to dinner and came 
back at contest time to see a screen full of "Server Busy" messages. I 
finally moved CCUser to another computer part way thru the contest and 
that helped.

I was asking what process thinks what other process is busy. They occur 
for me in the RTTY windows and seem more frequent with heavy packet 
spots - I use CCUser to WL Packet.

Jerry, W6IHG.
