Thanks: [Xlog-discussion] Hiding/Showing entries - fixed

[WB5BKL]

My thanks to Pierfrancesco Caci who e-mailed me directly (I am on the
digest) with an explanation of how xlog handles multiple logs and also
how the 'hide' and 'show' choices function.

With my normal backups and some careful pruning of my log during the
contest, I was able to restore the missing entries in just a few
minutes.  I do have about 170 QSOs that will need minor QSO data added
to them.

Pierfrancesco also took the time to expand on the utility of multiple
logs and his personal backup scheme.  I plan to increase my backups to
once weekly.  

And, yes, I just did a backup.

Again thanks.
