Yup ... try that again ... this time, start with a NEW file name,
like XETEST2 setup for the same contest ... THEN "import"
the ADIF file INTO that NEW file ... NOT into the old file ...
When you "deleted all the contacts in the Writelog window", the
old file still had some data ... when you imported the old data
back into the same file ... well, you KNOW the answer here ...
