During the last hours of the SAC SSB contest, SOAB, Writelog asked
me to recover networking. This was for no obvious reason
since I was running a stand alone setup so I answered no and kept
on running the 4 hours left of the contest.
When the contest was finished and I restarted the program after
some rest I had lost 432 QSO into cyberspace. The 4 last ones are
recoverable through the adif file.
Wayne have had a look at the original file and it is not recoverable.
I used Writelog version 10:35 on a Windows NT4 workstation.
I have been using Writelog for several years always without any
problems. Since this has happened once it might happen again I
do wish to make some kind of backup after the contest.
My question is:
Is there anyway to make a reusable backup of what the screen shows
after the contest. All QSO's were present there. I have tried to
make a normal copy, ctrl-C and pasted it into EXCEL - It works, but
how can I import it back into Writelog for the post contest work.
After this I need to have a new routine after the end of a contest
and any suggestions will be appreciated.
