Ted Bryant W4NZ has posted the following suggestions on the N1MM list serve:


1) Create a new database for each of the two or more contests.
2) Name each database with its contest identifier, i.e. CQWW_CW.mdb, for example.
3) Set up each contest in its respective database complete with all F-key
definitions, call history, etc.
4) With it set up this way, when you want to change contests just go to FILE->Open Database, and select the database for the desired contest. You can also hit ALT+F which will open the file menu. It only takes seconds for the other contest to load.

Hi Lloyd,

you can switch between the contests by re-opening the other log (File -> Open log in database). Not too convenient but better than nothing. I'm not aware of any possibility to run 2 instances of N1MM in parallel. If there is any I would be interested, too. ;-) Other solution might be to run 2 different logging programs. Third one is to log everything into one file (the sponsor/robot will take care of the valid contacts for their respective contest then) but that only works if the exchanges are compatible.

I'm sure others have asked this same question. I'd like to operate 2 contests at the same time, toggling back and forth between the two. Can this be done using N1MM and if so, how?
Thanks & Aloha,  Lloyd  KH6LC
