After reading the flood of comments on the pros and cons of working and logging zero point contacts I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents worth. GET THEM IN THE LOG It's always much easier to work and lo
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, Ll

Aloha, The Hawaii QSO Party starts in a few hours. A MM can operate 48 hours (0400 > 0400z) so it's definitely a marathon for the KH6LC MM crew. We look forward to working you on SSB & CW. Lots of ac
I believe a Top Ten Devices "Op-Swapper" would be an easy way for John to tie his two radios together while protecting the receivers. We use them here without issues. 73 & Aloha, Lloyd KH6LC ________
