by opening the programs when I wanted to use them, not 24/7
service. My original fear was having a radio connected to the
computer being an invitation to having lightning ruin my
Facebook experience. I might have been able to deal with that
problem, but as I get older I sure as hell get worried by talk
of a jittery clock. <br>

<p>I have (up until the recent storms) been running wispr on my
daily driver in a windows VM in the background w/ my flex 6300
-- band hopping with my virtical loop.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I have learned that one must reboot windows at least once per
day or it will eat itself and lose the ability to maintain
good timing - producing hash in its output and input.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I have also learned that the wspr software will generate an
unlimited amount of data in the background that must be
deleted once per day (about the time I reboot it) so that the
disk doesn't fill up and break things.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So, that could go wrong, but it's easily mitigated with a
small maintenance routine.<o:p></o:p></p>
