Sorry to hear this report. This does sound like a serious bug caused by a bad network connection. But I don't recall hearing other reports of the same thing happening anywhere else.<div><br></div><div>Which version of Win-Test?</div>

At some point error messages „Lost UDP packets“ and I guess number 10035 (or 10034?) appeared. Also error message „double QSO identified, network will be disabled“. After one of those messages at one computer when RELOAD was done to restore network the last QSO by that station was multiplied by thousands of times and synchronized to other computers!<u></u><u></u></span></p>

It took a while now for QSOs to reach other computers (before network totally froze).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
