Thanks guys, I'll let you know how it goes. I plan to add the 30 odd QSOs to the good file, and then copy it back over the corrupted one on my radio computer.
I was hoping that I'd have to copy some other file only because I have to copy those 30+ Qs by hand but... adding 30+ QSOs is better than losing 41K! :-) Thanks a bunch!
