Well, I haven't operated in this one for a few years, and I finally 
decided that my old, familiar contest logger, NA, was just too obsolete 
so I fired up a version of RoverLog that I have had here for quite a while.

It was misery. Any time I tried to do almost anything, I would get a 
Bitch Box saying that it could not find file "". It logged OK, and it 
allowed deletes, but it would NOT allow edits. For a guy who makes as 
many goofs entering QSOs as I do, that was REAL misery. I'm always 
forgetting to change band or mode. I had to exit RoverLog and use 
Notepad to fix errors! I got really good at that.

Now, about 3 hours after the contest is over, I find that I had not 
named a Lookup File because I didn't care whether I had one or not. But 
RoverLog does. I named one and all is now well.

Band	QSOs	Value	QSO Pts	Mults

432	29	3	87	12

Could have been worse. Now begins the battle with the Robot. Wish me well.
