![]() As you make more contacts, the visualizations get more interesting. You can view these statistics by clicking Window -> Info. This can be used to generate statistics like how many contacts each operator made, when each operator was active, or the operating rate (contacts per hour). If you type a popup will let you enter the operator’s call sign. Other useful windows Operator change window N1MM+ is smart enough to recognize invalid entries and will show an error if you enter an invalid section (such as MD instead of MDC).

It is up to you to log what you hear, so don’t assume our other logger got it right. This will let you see how the other station is doing, and if the other station worked someone, their exchange will be pre-filled for you. It is very important that you log contacts to the proper log file. A sample list of log filesĬlick on the File menu and in the numbered entries you should see entries for the ship you would like to log for. For the NT4HI/Laffey-NJ4DU/Clamagore computer you will need to ensure you are using the correct log. For the WA4USN/Yorktown computer there should be no need to change anything. We will be using two computers to log for three ships. If the Log window isn’t visible, type to start it. If you realize you entered something wrong, go to the Log window and double-click on the item you need to fix. You can use and to jump between text windows. You can see how you can quickly work and log stations with minimal hand movement. will also move you between text boxes, but it won’t auto-fill information. Enter the exchange information (name, state, number, etc), then hit to save the contact. If you have worked him on the same band/mode, a big red DUPE will appear under the text box and you hit to wipe out what you typed. N1MM+ will automatically fill in exchange data if you have worked him on another band or mode. When you make a contact, simply enter the worked call sign in the first text box. Beware that if you initiate a digital mode, additional programs will launch. Likewise you can can change mode by entering CW, USB, LSB, SSB, or RTTY. When you enter a frequency, such as 14080, you will see it appear in the window title. You can click on the band/mode option that is appropriate, or you can enter them into the first text box. For Field Day you won’t see options for 12, 17, or 30m for a CW-only contest you would only have one column. In this example we are doing general logging, so all modes and the WARC bands are shown. ![]() It is very important that you update your choice every time you change bands or modes on the radios, or else you will have an invalid log.

The number of boxes will vary based on the contest and expected exchange. For CARS events, the software will be set up for you.Īcross the top of the window you see five text input boxes. There are plenty of resources on the web about setting it up, and we can discuss the powerful extra features later. In this article we’ll look at how to use it for simple logging.
