Minor clarification. . . I (K0DQ) haven't lost a log using TR although I
recall someone else saying they had.  My experience related to the need (in
my opinion) for a bit of "sailor proofing" of TR.  It's a great program with
an incredible number of features, but it's complex to master and late in the
contest when fatigue sets in I find it easy to make mistakes of the variety
which require several key strokes and significant angst to correct.
