As evidenced by yesterday's discussion of the SPAR Winter Field Day contest, there are contests in our Supported Contests List that are obsolete/inactive and should be de-listed from the Entry Window's >File >New Log in Database - contest choices. By coincidence, in recent weeks the N1MM DevTeam has been working with Bruce WA7BNM regarding a direct interface between his Contest Calendar website and N1MM. As part of that effort we have identified 51 contests that appear to be obsolete/inactive. In this week's Latest Update release we will begin trimming the menu selection list by removing contests that are tagged as obsolete/inactive. The list of those 51 proposed obsolete contests can be found in the website's >Downloads >Program Files >Experimental Versions gallery. If your contest is listed but is still an active contest, please contact the Dev Team to get your contest reinstated on the list. https://n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/mmfiles/categories/programexperimental/ NOTE: This list does not includes User Defined Contests (UDCs) and QSO Parties. We'll be looking at those in the future, also. -larry K8UT

Welcome to the N1MMLoggerPlus user group at groups.io . The purpose of this group is to serve as the main support channel and discussion group for the N1MM Logger+ amateur radio contest logging program. N1MM Logger+ (aka N1MM+) is free contesting software that supports virtually all amateur radio contests. If a contest is not supported now, it can usually be added using the Logger's "user-defined contest" feature. N1MM+ is not a general-purpose logger; there is no support for chasing awards like DXCC and WAS, and there are no QSL management features. For those functions, you should be using a general logging program. You can export contest logs from N1MM+ in ADIF format and import them into almost any general logging program for tracking awards and generating QSLs. You need to join the group in order to post messages. The first posting from a new user must be approved by the moderators. Include your callsign in requests to join. Be proud of your callsign and put it in every post. Don't spam. This is not a list for posting items for sale, for announcing contests or events, for discussing amateur politics or for other off topic posts. It is also not the place for personal attacks. Repeated or egregious violations will result in loss of posting privileges. If the volume of email from the group is too much, you can set your delivery to digests or no email, by signing in to the groups.io web site and selecting "Your Groups > Manage My Subscriptions". You can also change your account preferences by clicking on your account name at the top right. You can change your email address or add an email alias address from the same place. You can view messages on the web site either in chronological order or by topic. Attachments are not conveyed in messages, but the web site also has a Files area to which files and screen shots may be uploaded. Try to make the subject line of your postings meaningful and descriptive. If you are starting a new topic, don't post it as a follow-up to a different thread; start a new thread with a title appropriate to the new topic. Titles such as "N1MM+" or "Bug report" do not make the grade; they give the reader inadequate indication of the contents, and they result in discussions on different topics being combined into a single thread. When reporting a problem with N1MM+, make sure that you can reproduce it using the current (latest) version of the program. We don't support any but the latest version. Please be specific when describing a problem. Be sure to indicate the mode (CW, SSB, RTTY, etc.), the method you use for interfacing (keying interface, sound card interface, etc.), the contest, the radio type and how it is connected to the computer, and information about your computer and its operating system. If there is an error message, quote its contents; just saying you got an error message without any other identifying information is not likely to get you a helpful response. If you are using port sharing software (LP-Bridge, VSPE, etc.), try to reproduce the problem without it first. We don't support port sharing software, but you are welcome to ask the group for advice about using it with N1MM+. Read all the posts in a topic before posting a response. If a post already says what you were going to say, don't clutter up the list with a "me too" post. When posting a response, it is a good idea to include just enough of the previous discussion to identify the context, and no more. There is no need to quote the entire past history of the thread in every response. After posting a problem, check back for responses. It is rude to post a problem then disappear. Likewise, please do not ask for off-list responses. If your post was important enough to ask 3,500 people to read it, you owe it to them to let them see the responses. If the responses solve your problem, let the group know how your problem was solved; that may help someone else down the road. Please do not think of this group as only a place for you to get answers to your problems, but also as a place where you can help others with their problems. If someone else has a problem hat you know how to fix, feel free to respond and provide the solution. The success of the group depends on more than just responses from the N1MM development team. However, when you do not know the answer, don't waste everybody's time with meaningless responses like "gee, that's a tough one. I have no idea." Above all, think before posting. You are going before 3,500 people with your posting. If you want help, demonstrate your willingness to do your part of the work. Be polite. 73, The N1MM Logger+ Development Team

Prior to getting onboard with the NL+ alpha testing, I was finishing up the transition from Win XP Pro to Win 7 Pro 32-bit on my very old contesting computer (Dell C640 Latitude laptop, 2-Ghz CPU, 1-Gb or RAM). That took several days to get the basic Windows stuff settled in and working properly on that hardware. Next, I purchased a microKEYER II and integrated that unit into the station (it's nice)... another day of learning and configuring... I got that all running okay now. Earlier today I downloaded the NL+ and installed it without any installation issues. It just took some time but came up fine. I configured the Station Information and I poked around on the menu system for a while. I have it working on CW but haven't tried (configured) any other modes yet. One observation is I think NL+ is going to require a higher resolution screen than 1024 x 768. My laptop had a 1280 x 1024 video driver for XP but I have not found a Vista, Win 7 or Win 8 driver for the ATI/AMD 7500M internal graphic system. So for the time being, I"m stuck at the lower resolution. Even if I can obtain 1280 x 1024 I don't know if that will even be enough real-estate for NL+ on my external 19" Viewsonic monitor (VA912b). The windows in NL+ just "feel" bigger to me. Yes, this hardware is really old, and it might prove to be the bottom limit. What resolution and screen size are others using? The one issue I have not been able to resolve yet is using CC-User to 'front end' the Telnet window in NL+. This works fine in NL. There is a localport defined as 127.0.0.1:7300 which does not seem to connect to NL+. When I try, there is no error message, it just does not respond or connect. I was able to connect to the W?MU cluster when I selected that node directly. Is this an area that has not been reprogrammed yet or am I overlooking something? So... I've got all kinds of "new and exciting" things I'm learning on the fly this past week! 73 de Bob - K?RC in MN

Hello guys, I'm glad to see things moving and to be part of it! First off: I can't post to the bug report site as mentioned in the alpha tester's PDF (yes I'm logged in): "You do not have permission to use this feature: tiki_p_forum_read" BUG: I installed 0.4.1725.0 on my Vista (yeah I know and hate it too) laptop.

Here are my notes: ' all blank lines are ignored ' all lines beginning with a # in the first character position is considered a comment line and is ignored ' ' ' *.TXT or *.txt file written by View Statitics has a header row and order as shown, ends with a Total line ' Day Hr 1.8 3.5 7 14 21 28 Tot ' 2012-10-27 00 80 264 1 345 ' 2012-10-28 23 188 46 234 ' Total 72 389 1513 1764 2655 3080 9473 ' ' ' .TXT or *.txt file hand generated space(s) or tab delimited, repeated spaces or tabs are OK ' 0 100 ' 1 111 ' 2 222 ' ' ' *.CSV or *.csv hand generated file, comma seperated, repeated spaces or tabs are OK, only one comma in the line is allowed ' 0, 100 ' 1, 111 ' 2, 222 (coded by K3CT) Version 0.4.1495 (February 20, 2014) SCP: printing results in a better way so columns stay intact, and using fixed-sized font (Coded by KU7T) Available Window: Do not change the Summary Table font size with FontSizer. (N1MM) (coded by K3CT) SCP: removed label rows, print statistics in text boxes, update from text according to what sources are enabled (Coded by KU7T) Font/Color Dialog: Added Apply/Save/Cancel button functionality. User can view without saving, cancel and revert to previous settings (K8UT) Font/Color dialog: Automatic text color switch from white-to-black letters when users selects light or dark backgound colors (K8UT) Version 0.4.1484 (February 19, 2014) DB optimization: Re-analyze each db at app launch and 60 min intervals to allow for fast growing size (N2IC) (Coded by KU7T) Disabled EntryWindow_Activated bringing all windows to the front. Too many undesired side-effects. (many) (Coded by N1MM) Fixed font switching in SCP (KU7T) (Coded by N1MM) Improved Statistics behhavior. Enabled print & print to file. (Coded by N1MM) Made FontSizer persistent (Coded by N1MM) Version 0.4.1476 (February 18, 2014) I added up/down boxes in the upper right of a window to adjust the font size of the main part of that window separate from the rest of the users of that font. E.g. if you want the bandmap callsigns bigger or smaller you can adjust that individually. There are 9+ windows that should get this treatment. What inspired me is that the multiplier window needed a way to make its font smaller, so I generalized it and made it easy to add to any window. It only affects the programmer-chosen "main" part(s) of the window. (Coded by N1MM) I mostly corrected delete contact and undelete contact. It works for at least the last qso in the EW. Delete should work for any qso in the log window. (Coded by N1MM) I removed all references to the log window functions to allow the log window to be closed like a normal window. That was a vestige of the VB6 code which is no longer needed. (Not that many people will want to run without a log window.) (Coded by N1MM) Reworked Digital code for proper selecting of MMTTY Com Ports. (Coded by N2AMG) Added routine to read MMTTY's PTT port from MMTTY.ini file (Coded by N2AMG) Fixed sort order of Cabrillo (N2IC) (Coded by N1MM) Made Telnet window turn red after 5 min with no activity (further development required) (KU7T) (Coded by N1MM) Reenabled EntryWindow_Activated event. This is the code that determines what windows come to the front after restoring the EW or when clicking on the EW. I had disabled so as to not interfere with N2IC's ARRL effort. We need to get this behaving the way we want. (Coded by N1MM) Available Window: Moved the FontSizer up out of the scrollbar control, added code to change the Summary Table font size, moved/added ReleaseControl() statements. (coded by K3CT) Version 0.4.1441 (February 14, 2014) EntryWindow: Bug fix, added BandPanel IsWorkable code when Mult1 string is "EXIT". (coded by K3CT) Minor fixes to Multiplier and Bandmap windows. (Coded by N1MM) PacketSpot.IsWorkable was always returning True (Coded by N1MM) Fix to WAG isWorkable calc (Coded by NA3M) Version 0.4.1425 (February 13, 2014) Implemented WIPELOG command. (Coded by N2IC) Remove "N1MM v4.00 Wave" from right Entry Window. (VE3KI) (Coded by N2IC) SCP: indicating number of calls and more results available in column header labels (Coded by KU7T) SCP: coloring exact match like EW (dupe, single mult, double mult, needed call) (Coded by KU7T) Implemented {CTRLFx}. (Coded by N2IC) Made goals buttons visible in Info window and made text window fully visible (Coded by N1MM) Got Import Goals wiggling (Coded by N1MM) Added scrollbars to mults windows (N2IC) (Coded by N1MM) Added mults and bands label in mults windows (Coded by N1MM) Version 0.4.1408 (February 12, 2014) Changed to storing window sizes & positions in native .net units. You will need to resize and move all your windows. Be sure to save your final positions in your operator layout. (Coded by N1MM) Corrects issue with MMTTY always loading with None as the com port. (Coded by N2AMG) Places QTCInfo label properly on the Entry Window. (Coded by N2AMG) SCP: allow user to customize if result sorting should favor mistakes at beginning or end of call (Coded by KU7T) SCP-telnet: using any call that was spotted 3 times in the last 48 h in the telnet search (Coded by KU7T) Fix for Bandmaps not saving to correct positon (VE3KI) (Coded by N1MM) Minor changes to Multiplier windows (Coded by N1MM) Stored spots of Station.MyCall in the spot database and added right click option in bandmap to display them (Coded by N1MM) Associated Files: Changes discussed and explained in the Skype discussion below. SCP: Configurable dupe yank, rollover yank when end of collecton reached (Coded by KU7T) I added a new table to the Admin database to store the filenames for MastrDTA, the FunctionKeys, and CallHistory for any contest including QSO Parties. Eventually we can eliminate the other fields that have stored some of these items. Now it's in one place and it adds the ability to store MastrDTA and function key files for each QSO Party. [2/10/2014 9:57:02 PM] John Bednar: Tom and I couldn't decide if this table should go in the Admin or DXLog DB. I made the decision to code it up and pick AdminDB. Currently the user can select each of these items per contest (Open Contest in DB, Associated Files tab) but the MastrDTA & Function Keys never worked correctly for QSOParty. This is because the current storage area did not have the field SubType. So even though the user defined different FKeys or MastrDTA, the code always loaded the last over and over no matter what QSOParty was selected. This made it tough to switch between several QSO party contests that are running concurrently. QSOParty is the contest name and Subtype is used to select the state. When I added CallHistory filename option and storeage it was stored in a different table that included SubType. [6:05:47 AM] John Bednar: At the same time I updated the code to use: [6:06:26 AM] John Bednar: master.scp type files in FilePathMgr.FolderPathUserSupportFiles [6:06:44 AM] John Bednar: function key files in FilePathMgr.FolderPathUserFunctionKeyMacros [6:07:11 AM] John Bednar: call history files in FilePathMgr.FolderPathUserCallHistoryFiles [6:08:11 AM | Edited 6:13:29 AM] John Bednar: The code forces the user to store the files in these directories. [6:10:25 AM | Edited 6:10:46 AM] John Bednar: Function key files by {USER} is not supported (it wasn't supported in VB6 either)...I don't know if we want to support this. It would certainly complicate the code. [6:11:44 AM] John Bednar: QSOParty and the contests beginning when "EA" currently use SybType. [6:13:07 AM] John Bednar: I also eliminated (made not visible) the Associated Files, Function Key Clear buttons. A blank box is not allowed. [6:16:07 AM | Edited 6:18:11 AM] John Bednar: When you open a new DB the user will now retain all master, FunctionKey, and CallHistory files. The issue is migration from an old DB. The old storage areas can not be removed until the conversion routine is modified. It could turn out that this data may be lost. This may be good because currently various databases will contain different FKey filenames for QSOParty [6:20:52 AM] K8UT - Larry Gauthier: Will the table in the admin db know which user is associated with these filenames? If there are two operators at a station will the file names be distinct by contest alone, or by contest by operator? [6:23:46 AM | Edited 6:24:14 AM] John Bednar: Each computer login has his/her own AdminDb in their own MyDocuments directory. These two users can select whatever files they want and the selections will be stored in their own database just like their own QSO's will be stored in the DxLogDB. [6:25:34 AM | Edited 6:28:32 AM] John Bednar: Actually, each login user has his/her own copy of the master, FunctionKeys, and CallHistory files. We decided to force the user to store the files in specific directories several months ago. So my XYL will not be able to select my Mastr.scp, Functionkeys, or call history files. If I make a new file, I will need to copy that file into her MyDocuments directory. [6:28:36 AM] K8UT - Larry Gauthier: There are two scenarios at play: #1 is the "my wife and I both operate the station and want our NL worlds to be different. We will both have Windwos logins to this PC." #2 is a "guest-op just issued an OPON during the multimulti effort. He has no Windows creds on this PC." [6:29:36 AM] John Bednar: I believe case #1 is explained. [6:29:43 AM] K8UT - Larry Gauthier: tnx John. [6:30:17 AM | Edited 6:31:12 AM] Tom Wagner: John -- do you plan to prevent the user from specifying files outside of that dir structure? I think that Is best, because then a copied dir structure will work on another machine. It makes describing how to copy data for a dx expedition easier. [6:32:34 AM] John Bednar: For case #2..we currently do not support different master, function keys, or call history by {USER}. I doubt that there is a case that requires a call history or master.scp file by {USER}. The function keys by {USER} is currently not supported and I didn't add that. [6:35:03 AM] John Bednar: Based on an earlier discussion where I asked that question...the answer was the user needs to store the files in these specific directories. So I coded the routines to force the user to store the files in the specific directories. The thing that I may have to support is sub directories within these specific directories.

I am using a 17" standard aspect ratio monitor (1 of 2) at 768 x 1024, and am able to get all the windows I want on-screen, but I had the same subjective feeling when I started working with NL+ The Entry window is big right now because of the Development Tools menu header, which will be going away. 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com.

To: N1MMLoggerplus@... Prior to getting onboard with the NL+ alpha testing, I was finishing up the transition from Win XP Pro to Win 7 Pro 32-bit on my very old contesting computer (Dell C640 Latitude laptop, 2-Ghz CPU, 1-Gb or RAM).

Next, I purchased a microKEYER II and integrated that unit into the station (it's nice)... another day of learning and configuring... I got that all running okay now.

I configured the Station Information and I poked around on the menu system for a while. I have it working on CW but haven't tried (configured) any other modes yet. One observation is I think NL+ is going to require a higher resolution screen than 1024 x 768. My laptop had a 1280 x 1024 video driver for XP but I have not found a Vista, Win 7 or Win 8 driver for the ATI/AMD 7500M internal graphic system. So for the time being, I"m stuck at the lower resolution. Even if I can obtain 1280 x 1024 I don't know if that will even be enough real-estate for NL+ on my external 19" Viewsonic monitor (VA912b). The windows in NL+ just "feel" bigger to me. Yes, this hardware is really old, and it might prove to be the bottom limit. What resolution and screen size are others using? The one issue I have not been able to resolve yet is using CC-User to 'front end' the Telnet window in NL+. This works fine in NL. There is a localport defined as 127.0.0.1:7300 which does not seem to connect to NL+. When I try, there is no error message, it just does not respond or connect. I was able to connect to the W?MU cluster when I selected that node directly. Is this an area that has not been reprogrammed yet or am I overlooking something? So...

Just installed on laptop to see how it looked… all defaults, created new database, filled in startup forms, etc…. started typing in calls, my call first, then random other calls. The log window Call column just shows my call. The others show in the dupes section of the log window when I type in partials so they seem to be logged.
