Hello Kostas, thanks for responding. I have the .DXL file located in the SAVE folder, in fact when I close the program the EA8AM.DXL file is updated, both the one in the SAVE folder and the second copy that I make on a pendrive that is always connected to the laptop. The problem is that I don't know why DX4WIN closed unexpectedly and when I opened it it told me if I wanted to rename the file, I said yes and gave it another name, but when I opened it it had not recorded 3 QSOs that I had entered just before DX4WIN was closed, so I commented that maybe it was my fault that I did not do the procedure correctly. Thanks for responding.
