I'm a long time N1MM user, upgraded to Plus a year or so ago. Before that, I used WriteLog, switching to N1MM around 2007, not because of cost, but because I liked it a lot better. I found N1MM to ha

All of my logs since getting back on the air in 2003 are on both LOTW and eQSL, including logs for contests using other calls. That's 100% QSLing on my part. 73, Jim K9YC ____________________________
