As I cannot attach it to this email over the reflector, let me know and I will send it to you. If Duncan uploads it to www.groups.yahoo.com <http://www.groups.yahoo.com> , the name is Ten-Ten 2015d.txt It contains 48,185 callsigns compared to 48,020 in the previous version. I hope I can work 5% of them! 73, CU IN THE CONTEST! Allen R.

Use 1010RTTY instead of TENTENRTTY when choosing the log type. The 1010RTTY has some extra features, and the log entry order is CALL, NAME, S/P/C (state/province/country), 10-10 number. It flows easier than the TENTENRTTY. 2. Ignore the "RTTY" in the name. This log type is good for any mode. 3. 1010RTTY and TENTENRTTY are both "UDC" log types UDC stands for "User Defined Contest" and they can be located at http://n1mm.hamdocs.com/tiki-list_file_gallery.php?galleryId=18 <http://n1mm.hamdocs.com/tiki-list_file_gallery.php?galleryId=18&offset=100> &offset=100 under tab three named TENTEN.zip. (Or www.n1mm.com <http://www.n1mm.com> > files > User Defined Contests (UDC) > tab 3. 4. Download and unzip the files into your C:\Users\[your name]\Documents\N1MM Logger+\UserDefinedContests 5. There is a call history located in the files section at https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/N1MMLogger/info . (You may have to join the group to access the folder - or I can send it to you.) The current file name is "-Ten-Ten 2015a.txt" . However, I expect a newer file to be uploaded late Thursday night. 6. Download the call history file to C:\Users\[your name]\Documents\N1MM Logger+\CallHistoryFiles 7. Start N1MM+. Go to File > New Log in Database. Then go to Log Type and select 1010RTTY. 8. Change Sent Exchange to your Name / State / and your 10-10 number. 9. Select "Associated Files" 10. To the right of "Call History Filename" select "Change" and then select "-Ten-Ten 2015a.txt". Then click Open to select it. Click OK at the bottom. (It will be -Ten-Ten 2015b.txt if it gets updated like I am hoping.) 11. You will get a window that says "Large call history file imports can take several minutes." Click "Yes". 12. You should see "Importing Callsigns #" at the bottom of the Entry Window. 13. Click "Config" in the Entry Window and make sure that "Enable Call History Lookup" is checked. 14. That all there is to it! ;-) Type a call in the Entry Window and either press enter or space bar to test. If the station you typed into the Entry Window is in the database, the Name, QTH and 10-10 number (if any) should autopopulate. 15. Click "Log it" or press enter if using ESM (Enter Sends Message) mode. 16. After testing this with a few calls, you can either delete the QSOs or just start another new log. If you have any questions, or if I have missed anything (or screwed up the instructions), contact me directly asap. The contest starts at 0000Z or 7pm local time Friday night and lasts 48 hours. Of course there won't be 24 hour propagation, but sometimes 10 meters can surprise you! 73 and CU IN THE CONTEST! Allen R.
