<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>
