17:39 K5CFY-RAY: No I didn't have it but I do now
17:41 KD8SLG-JUST NICK: GB7GM has EFN linked to KG4HOT and both of those are linked to BBN. I'm truly surprised it doesn't loop out and crash everytime one of those keys up.
17:41 KD8SLG-JUST NICK: Or maybe that's what's causing almost daily crashes....?
