No, you're not crying wolf. The log file you sent me showed me what the problem was. You never saved the default beacon record (after presumably creating and saving a second beacon record). The Beacon editing tab starts up by displaying the default beacon. Since you didn't have one (and a default one wasn't created at YAAC startup because you had other saved beacon records), the Beacon tab failed when it insisted on accessing the default beacon record.
I'll have to decide how to fix this, either by ensuring there is always a default beacon record at startup, or starting out with the first beacon record (whatever it happens to be named, and whether it's the default one or not). YAAC has to have at least one beacon record, because all transmit-capable APRS stations need to be able to transmit their station identification to comply with the law.
Note that the default beacon record controls where your station is plotted on the map, including whether or not GPS data is used to reposition you per the GPS fix.
