The same thing happened a couple of times at SL3ZV during the ARRL DX. We
had two machines connected, but this problem occurred on one of the computers
only. (386SX/16) I first thought it had something to do with RF sneaking into
the computer, but it locked up a few times even with a ton of ferrites added
to each and every one of the cables to/from the "mainframe".
BTW, the propagagation locked up on us too. We made only 1020 QSO's over the
entire weekend, and only ONE QSO the first 8 hours !!
73 and keep up the good work!
