[WriteLog] WL Spots question

[Randy Thompson]

I was connected to the WC2L node for the weekend.  I think I may have gotten dropped two times.  No idea why, but you notice it when the spots stop rolling in.  I would just reconnect and keep going.  Maybe WL needs an option to try and reconnect a few times when the connection is dropped.

Just wanted you to know I had the same issue.

I used the NC7J and W3LPL RBN nodes during the contest.  I also got random "Disconnected" notices from each node.  In other words they (NC7J and W3LPL) both dropped out.

It may simply be because there were so many users on either of the nodes (this is of course a major contest) that the system overloaded and dropped out randomly.

I have had no disconnects from RBN's happen during other times with hours of use.

Unless someone else has a perspective on this, that may be what happened.

I don't use spots very often, so maybe there is a simple answer to this question.
I don't send out spots.  I just receive them. During CQWW CW, I kept getting disconnected from various Telnet Skimmer connections.  It would happen sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after an hour or a couple of hours.  My conservative estimate is it happened at least 30 times.
This wasn't an internet issue on my end as far as I could tell.  When the spots stopped, I was using the same internet on the shack computer to look up various Telnet connection information.
Is there some kind of instruction that I need to give, or box that I need to check to keep that from happening inside WL?
Thanks.
