Hi Trent,

Yes, I recall that now re the ops not accurately reported during the Run and 
Max Rate reports. Not a drop dead issue for our single tower, only two 
stations, M/2, but I can see where it would be to bigger operations. And, yes 
the first op in the sequence seems to get full "credit" in the report. Not very 
useful.

Here, we tightly schedule our few ops and always know who is on when and what 
bands. I can see where this would help, but having it reported by N1MM+ would 
be helpful to others that loosely schedule.

Hi Bob,



I just responded privately to another person and it answers your questions –



To sort out the reporting :



Post Contest I have subscribed to www.qscope.org<http://www.qscope.org/>



We have found throughout the reporting of N1MM anomalies in Multi ops - such as 
operators listed under the Runs report and not listed under the rates report



The rates in different parts of N1MM are not consistent - if you are using 1, 
10 and 60 Minutes then this should be the only standard.



The Max rates report in a Multi op gives the callsign of the first operator in 
the sequence - some slight extra coding to show the individuals would be awesome



This is not a new occurrence as both myself and Phil have been asking for this 
to be rectified for some time now.



While we may not move on we are looking for alternatives.



To us operator management is a primary concern:  Most of the downfall is live



We would like to see a Bum in chair time as per Writelog even with negative for 
those not on air ie how long off the rig.



Looking at other packages is very interesting ; for example on feature of 
WINTEST is an integration with HAMCAP that forecasts prop to arrange skeds with 
a Multiplier



This feature is called QSY Wizard 
http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Windows#QSY_Wizard



The search continues



Score at this stage from private emails



N1MM – 2

Writelog – 3

Wintest – 5

Hi Trent,

A small group of us Arizona Outlaws have been doing M/2 for over 7 years here. 
(N7AT and several other calls). We have used N1MM/N1MM+ that entire time. We 
find the networking ability quite good, very robust, and the reporting suiting 
our operation.

What about the N1MM reporting is inadequate for your needs?

Looking around at various contest Loggers and considering a change - We have 
used N1MM for some time but the reporting leaves me cold.

We mainly operate Multi Operator - so need good networking, good comms, and 
good reporting for each operator.

What do you use ? Why ? and what are its best features ?
