Much better looking that N1MM Logger or Writelog. The software is very nice in appearance and has some very useful features.
N1MM LOGGER CW MEMORIES UPDATE
The only reason I am not using it as my everyday log is that i cannot merge my old log with Win Test.Īn update to my initial review a couple of years ago. The Win Test log is brilliant for DX peditions or as a casual log. One cannot transfer log in ADIF format into Win Test. One cannot also self-design a contest or amend the existing one.
Not all the desidable contests are supported. Recording SSB contest messages can be done via the transceivers microphone - that saved me a lot of time. My first full-time effort in a major contest resulted in the World record and respectivy 1st place in the world. The interface, colours and ease of use is amazing. Yahoo group assistance, if needed, is literary within minutes. It started working for me from the outset. And i tried it at least on 3 different occasions. Once you have completed the contest, you will need to go to "Tools\Rescore Current Contest" to enable N1MM to generate the bonus points correctly.I have tried N1MM but it would just not work for me. Don't forget to change Sent Exchange to include YOUR locator as this is what is added to your log. You can change any other option to match your operating conditions. Don't worry about the name, it is called this because to enable support for RTTY within contests, N1MM requires that the file name contains the word RTTY. In Log Type, select "VHF_B2RTTY" (VHF_B4RTTY for 2018 season). Once the above is completed, you can run N1MM+ and setup a new contest from "File\New Log in Database xxxxx.s3db" you should then be presented with the following screen:
N1MM LOGGER CW MEMORIES ZIP FILE
zip file that then need to be moved into "My Documents\N1MM Logger+\SupportFiles" these are called c and Grids.txt. zip file extractor (most versions of Windows will do this for you) and the contents copied to the "My Documents\N1MM Logger+\UserDefinedContests" directory. Once you have downloaded the file, it must be extracted using your favourite. This contains various UDC (User Defined Contest) files for all of the scoring methods used by the RSGB.
N1MM LOGGER CW MEMORIES HOW TO
All of Scotland and the northern-most tip of Northern Ireland is in the "red" zone which gives 2000 points and the remainder (basically all but the most northern part of England) are in the blue zone for 500 bonus points.Īnyway, enough of the background, here is how to configure N1MM+ to score these contests correctly.įirstly, you will need to download the latest VHFRSGB.ZIP file from the N1MM+ website. All non-UK contacts, (including most of Ireland) the section of England north of Leeds and the furthest parts of Cornwall and Wales are "green" zones which are eligible for 1000 bonus points for every locator grid achieved.
Whilst this has caused some contraversy owing to the apparent favouring of stations in the northern half of the UK, until the RSGB decide otherwise, this is the current scoring system.ī2 is based on a bonus-points system with red, green and blue zones for certain locator squares. With the changes to the RSGB UKAC VHF Contests for 2017, the RSGB has introduced a new scoring system called B2. All instructions below should still be correct but the contest is now called VHF_B4RTTY.
We believe that this is a fairer system, awarding 500 points for each large grid square. ** Sense has prevailed at the RSGB CC and the B2 scoring system has been replaced with the B4 scoring system for the 2018 season.
