This is not really about adding features but rather cleaning up and optimizing an existing capability of the program. I'm sure there are users who have more contest experience than I have that can contribute some suggestions. In the big picture I would declutter the contest window as much as possible and group key items close to one another and minimize mouse move distance. I would eliminate one pair and keep the pair at the top. I would suggest eliminating that restriction.īeam headings appear twice.
Get rid of PH CW Dig grid in lower right or make that a user option.Ĭurrently you need to actually be within the actual contest time period to enable the contest mode. QSO Enter button too small, too far away and too close to the Cancel button. Beginning with the June QST, there will be a new trail boss in the Contest Corral as Bruce Draper, AA5B takes the reins. For those of us OTs (Old Timers), we'll be calling 'CQ Rookies'. Get rid of PH CW Dig grid in lower right or make that a user option. Everybody will be looking for the 'rookies' so call 'CQ Rookie Roundup' and see who answers Or tune around and call if you'd rather jump in that way. Contest Received box is too small and buried in the middle. The location of WB (worked before) would be better immediately next to the call sign box.Ĭontest Received box is too small and buried in the middle. The location of WB (worked before) would be better immediately next to the call sign box. Perhaps use dropdown menu or it can user disabled.
Hide the Radio, Antenna and Current Power entry boxes. In general, there is too much visual clutter in the Contest Log window and it takes too long and too much concentration to locate specific information or locate a particular "entry window" with a mouse especially when you are tired. The bottom line is that you want to be able to "move" quickly and not get mentally fatigued. In a contest, one wants to avoid wasted time and the mental effort to perform task.
Others often stand by and jump on the air when someone takes a break. One may work contacts while the other logs contacts in N1MM+ then switch functions.
Junping to a call sign in n1mm logger software#
Ned posts some interesting topics so add him to your list of blogs/RSS feeds to follow.I'm using Log4om v2.11.0.0 I'm an occasional contester and want to use Log4om for contests and don't want to move to a specialized contest logging program. The Whitman Amateur Radio Club will use N1MM+ logging software running on club provided laptops at each operating station. Got a mention in N8OIF’s Blog where Ned is discussing some digital modes and a lot of his equipment matches what I have. I need to use N1MM even if I don’t think I’ll do a lot of contacts since it just ends up being less of a hassle to create the log files needed to provide to the contest team. But getting into N1MM from HRD isn’t easy, which I think, is caused by HRD’s export to ADIF that doesn’t match what N1MM wants on its import, specifically for the Exchange info. I logged the contacts in Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) which is fine for this type of contest but creating a Cabrillo file is a pain in HRD while easy in N1MM. I didn’t fire up N1MM to do the logging which turned out to be a hassle because getting data into N1MM from outside is always a hassle. Then, launch Call of Duty Mobile on your phone and log out. They are short and fun with the out of state stations only able to log stations within the state that is having the QSO party. To log out of the Facebook COD Mobile account, first, sign out of your Facebook account from the web browser and any other Facebook app. I missed out on the NJ QSO party since I was away on vacation. Last night after getting home from dinner I popped on and made 22 contacts with stations in Ohio as part of their Ohio QSO Party.
