I will have a look at Writelog, I use Ham radio deluxe for my day to day
logging but that soon is to be a commerical sw at a cost so I want to try the
other options available to me.
I used to use logger 32 but found HRD better, I reinstalled Logger32 on Friday
to see what the newer version was like and it killed N1MM on me I had to go to
a restore point on my PC to get N1MM to work again so Logger32 is now in the
bin. there was some panic in the shack a few hours before the contest I can
tell you.
I also decided to move the Rig after an hour of the contest at 1am on Saturday
morning, I lost over an hour making new patch cables and amp keying cables but
it was alot more comfortable to use the rig. nothing like last minute prep.
Thanks

Yes i saw your pileup and it was huge, there was another EI station calling
also and don't know why he had less clients.
FSK is better than AFSK, still you can use autotune function of you're running
mmtty + N1MM logger. I have a ProIII and it works just like yours, with a very
narrow filter and a good performance on a crowded frequency.
If you have the chance, try Writelog, i'ts a great software, I knew it thanks
to XE2K, once I started using it, I quit using MixW and N1MM, as well as AFSK
is no longer in my shack hi. It works great as a everyday program to work/log
Dxpeds and so on.
Looking forward to work you soon, 73!
