Hi Mike,

I've never heard of this before, and I use F3 a lot.  But I've always used RAC,
not Hamcall.  I wonder if there's a bug with the way DX4WIN is interacting with
the hamcall .DLL.

I guess the only work-around is to save your log before using F3.

Now that I think about it, I do remember something about one of the lookups
returning too much data and causing problems for DX4WIN.  I wonder if that was
Hamcall?  I think Paul said that he embiggened some buffer as a work-around,
but the problem might re-occur in the future.
