Bill, Joe,
I looked at N1MM+ and was about to install it, when I saw you had to
install it as "Administrator" and recalling Bill's admonition about
installing things as Admin, I held off until I could ask about it.
*Bill, what do you think about installing N1MM+ given it's requirement to
install as Admin?*
My comments were not directed at what X's behavior was w/r to the cab
file, it was directed at the cumbersome process it became to upload a cab
file to ARRL web site (if you had not done it before...and I hadn't)
Filling out a form with no hints as to the format to the values to be
entered is not that much fun. ("one" "1" or "single"), actual watts vs low,
medium, high, aided vs not (which I'm sure could have been gleaned from a
careful reading of the rules, so ignore that one)
The combination of self-duping, self scoring and figuring out the format
and particulars of the values that are required at the ARRL site, nearly
caused me to just throw the data away. I'm not a contest enthusiast. I
enjoy the propagation aspect of it, but wanted to help others out with a
check log. If I had several hundred contacts, that's just what I would have
done. With 40 it was merely tedious.
...and Joe, thanks for putting all that effort into the interface with
N1MM+. It looks to me like it would do it "all", dupe, score, format cbr
for ARRL and possibly even upload the final cbr file.
If it turns out to be "safe" to do the Admin install, I'll give it a try.
The X software performed just beautifully during the contest, and made
operating a real pleasure.
