Hello Barry
We have been having the same problems with large file (lots of QSO's). I
have chased and chased this problem all over the Map. I have 4 new WIN98
machines with 128Mb of Ram and we do M/S or M-2 with 4 stations. K9JY and
WE9V did a superb set up job but once we got past around a 1000's q's the
problems started coming. One other problem was relinking to the network a
rebooted PC was often a problem.
I have some things on the PC's but they are basically logging machines. We
are going to try and reinstall WIN98 and I may unload some of the things I
really don't use.
We have a clean file also but it was buried in a directory. Next time we vow
that we will have it more handy. In addition our ___.WL file seem to get
corrupted and useless. I just don't why this is happening.
K9JY is one of the star operators and he was here all weekend and did most
of the setup. I am pretty sure that every thing is correct.
