Dear WT users,
during last weekend's SSB Field day we had the chance to test how Win-Test
behaves in case of a power failure.
We had setup a desk top computer (mistake #1, should have been a notebook
with batteries) for the IARU R1 SSB
Field Day. Due to the nice weather and good food we forgot to take a look at
the fuel (mistake #2). Four hours into
the contest, our diesel generator ran dry and the power went off. After five
minutes power was restored.
When Windows came back up, we restarted Win-Test, keeping fingers crossed.
Not a single QSO was lost, no nasty messages etc. - the file loaded like
nothing had happened!
Hats off to Olivier & Laurent for the very bullet-proof design of Win-Test!
73 Ben, DL6RAI
