A screen-shot of four or five QSO's being wiped out by a WinLid will go a long way toward getting this problem resolved so that it will no longer be an issue. Nobody has to stand by and put up with this kind of behavior, and once it is documented and put on display, it is then impossible to deny. We have over 5 GB of image storeage at ARWatch... - There's plenty of room, so don't be shy... Send us your screenshots of Pactor interference.
