<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.</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.</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.<br>
</p>
<p>So, that could go wrong, but it's easily mitigated with a small
maintenance routine.</p>
