[WriteLog] Fw: Dropbox link for prefill file not working

[Gary AL9A]

FWIW, now that the Dropbox web site is over their outage and is again functional the link I sent out previously to download the NAQP History file is again functional.  So if you tried to get the file before and it wouldn’t work please try it again.  Let me know if you still have a problem and I will send you the file direct as an email attachment.  Sorry for the problem, but it is obviously too late for those who had a problem during the NAQP CW contest yesterday.  However, if you intend to run in the NAQP SSB contest this coming weekend the NAQP Prefill History File will work for that contest too as it contains both NAQP CW and SSB contest calls.

A word to the wise.  Download the file early, that way if there is a problem there is still time to work out a solution.  Several prefill file users let me know they had downloaded the file days prior to the contest and did not have an issue so they were able to utilize the prefill file in the contest.

Subject: Dropbox link for prefill file not working

I haven’t had a chance to check my emails today and just found a couple of notes from Don AA5AU and Shelby K4WW indicating that they are unable to get the Dropbox link for the NAQP prefill file to work.  I just checked and I am unable to even log into Dropbox.  Apparently they are having some sort of system wide outage as I cannot log into the main Dropbox account or even send them an email query about the outage.  I know a couple of others got the file downloaded before the contest started so I think the link is good, it’s just that the whole system is MIA.

When it comes back up I will send out another link to the NAQP prefill file.  It will probably be too late to help in the CW contest, but the same file can be used for the SSB edition next weekend.  Sorry for the problem – never had this happen before!
