My tale of woe… I lost all 150 40M QSOs when I tried to use N1MM to send
a CW exchange. I received a message that a file was missing, e.g. DLPORTIO.dll.
It was not missing, but the computer locked up and after an hour trying to fix it
I gave up and had to reinstall N1MM. I had saved previous contest logs to a thumb drive
including the JARTS RTTY contest which I was also operating in. After this experience I
backed up my JARTS log every time I changed bands. Below is my report just before the NYQP
ended.
