[Dx4win] Disaster

[Paul van der Eijk]

Carol,

Not sure how you can loose all your QSOs when importing a log. The only way
to do this, as far as I know, is to start a new log using the same name as
your regular log.

DX4WIN keeps various backup copies of your log; see on-line help in the
section “files”
