I lost about 18-20 QSO's due to a software vomit during the ARRL CW contest
(about 2/22/2011) Autosave did not work correctly and I had to restart WL at
least once. Although I tried everything to retrieve the lost QSO's, nothing
worked. I still do not understand what happened. But in defense of WL,
that's the only time in 3 years of running.
