What a mess...not the contest station...my station.
I use N1MM logger and I love it! It is powerful yet easy enough for an old
adlepated man can use it.
I have had RF problems in the shack affecting the program. I have tried all
kinds of cable configurations and nothing has really helped.
I thought it was probably my old worn out homebrew computer that was screwin
with me. So I bought a brand spanking new one.
The first few hours were pretty good. Until I went to 20 meters(my nemisis).
The previous problem would rear it's head if I transmitte between 14028 and
14049. Would you believe that everything was good for a while. Then the problem
started again. What happens is that the Function keys will not work. Pressing
the key or using the mouse to click on the screen won't work.
The only way out so that it will work again is to totally shut down the
computer and power back up.
Today, however, it seems every band was affected once it started.
So to finish the contest, from 0000Z on I was running only 10 watts. At least
there wasn't enough RF in the shack to kill that.
Got to get bust and find this problem!SOON!
I have an amplifier on the way next week. I may have to go back to NA! HI!
hope everyone had fun...actually I did but it did get frustrating!

If you worked me on 80 THANKS... I was running 10 watts to a dipole 30 feet
high in the center!
