*If you worked K2QO/R last night, please read this!!*

OK, this may be untoward or outside of the rules of the Sprint, but here
goes. Last night while in my 2nd grid, I looked at my iPod Touch and there
was ONE QSO logged! Minutes earlier I had 30. What happened? Well, after
testing the iRover app fairly extensively over a few days to see if it was
really useable for real time logging, I figured that it was. WRONG! There is
a key combo that you can hit that will erase your log! I did not notice it
while testing, but it is easy to do, and I am sure I did.

What this app needs is a more failsafe way of allowing log deletion. You
should not be able to erase the log simply by fumbling the iPod/iPhone. Once
I got over being really mad today, I added some entries and tried to
reproduce the deletion. Easy as pie. The 432 Sprint will be logged on paper.

So, if you worked me last night, drop me a note with the time(s). I've tried
to put together a log from memory, but I only have 1/2 the number of Qs I
actually made.

Thanks.

73,
