" No Self Spotting Allowed in this Contest"
开云体育I did not notice any evidence of being spotted in the INFO window in N1MM so I decided to Self-Spot.??? That's when I received this message. " No Self Spotting Allowed in this Contest".?? Am I using an outdated UDC or is this something to be corrected?? Fortunately, I had lots and lots of spots on RBN so I was being spotted after all.-- George K4GM |
开云体育Try typing K2B into the callsign field and hitting ALT-P.? It worked for me. ? Rick N1RM ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

开云体育I'm using the DX contest in N1MM with {SPOTME} macro at the end
of my F1 CQ. Spotting makes a big difference in activity. The RBN
showed lots of spots, but dxsummit didn't until I started self
spotting. Since my 40m antenna is down, I'm running remote CW using W4NF's
in station in Manassas - K4-K4. 40M had lots of QRM, QRN, QSB
coupled with the remote audio drop outs - fun first hour! Nice to
have 1500W, but we need a lower antenna. Bet you haven't heard
that too often! W7IY On 7/1/24 16:18, N1RM - Rick Miller via

开云体育Rick, typing in K2B and using ALT-P has worked.??? The {SPOTME} command in the macro had no effect for me.?? Stu, when I was on 20m earlier I wasn't making many contacts so checked out the RBN and found I was booming into Europe and the west coast but crawling "db" wise in the rest of the USA.? I'm using a dipole at 50 feet. SO I understand the too high antenna issue. This is why we don't do many stateside contests at NR4M....? Tried RTTY earlier for giggles.. zero contacts.?? Competing today with the RAC contest is not helping.... Still having fun. ?? Good luck all.73 de George K4GM On 7/1/2024 4:18 PM, N1RM - Rick Miller

开云体育George - you're right. SPOTME had no effect. I must have been
hallucinating. This time - I typed in K2B in the entry window and
clicked on spot. Same as Alt-P. 73 all On 7/1/24 18:22, George Marzloff K4GM

开云体育The self-spotting feature of N1MM is relatively new. For obvious reasons, the default is “off”.? UDC’s of contests that permit it must be updated to enable the {SPOTME} macro. ? If you want, you can add the following line at the end of the 13COLONIES.udc file: SelfSpotAllowed = True ? It is just a text file, so any text editor will do. ? 73, Rick N1RM ?
