Testing prior to CQ WPX SSB I am having a hard time to get the Cumulative OFF time display in the Info window to show anything other than 00:00.?

?

Is it working ?

Yes, it works.?

?

Off time in all contests is based on the start time of the contest.? What did you specify for start time in your contest setup??

?

The program makes assumptions about when the contest start.? We know what day of the week it runs and how long it runs, but we don't know what weekends it runs, so, for a contest that starts at 0000Z on Saturday, we pick a Saturday as the contest start.? If you set up during the week, that usually works ok.? We don't count contacts made before or after the contest in off times.?

?

I created a WPX SSB contest on the Sunday afternoon before SSB WPX. I logged one test QSO and I got this for off times:?

?

?

Note that I did this at 2100Z, 3 hours before the end of "this weekend's" WPX? contest.?

Hi Tom,

?

Just a bit ahead of you. I re-read the help docs, realised that it might not work until the contest has started. So I setup a new contest with todays date and a time 5 mins ahead of when I logged a dummy contact. I then waited 90 mins, but nothing showed up in the window.

Maybe it has something to do with being a week out ? It is the first time I have tried to use this function. A bit like shooting rats in the dark...

(EDIT)

?

Having never used this 'particular' one before I am trying to figure this out however I think the value mirrors the "view/of times" value and is not a "up counter of time" as one might think.

It (contest off time) won't update here until I make a QSO (keeping in mind minimum off times for the various contests)

So long as it works DURING and AFTER the contest, I'll be delighted. Thanks, Tom!?

Function worked just fine in the contest. However, what I have learnt is that not all parts of N1MM+ can easily be tested in advance of the event.
