Comments:
Couldn't go about this one too seriously, had too much stuff to do  
that Saturday, including spending time with family.

My setup was a little odd. I used the CocoaModem software on a 12" Al  
PowerBook running MacOS X 10.4. However, CocoaModem doesn't quite  
know how to log a contest with a two-element exchange, so I did the  
actual logging on a Toshiba laptop running Windows 98 and N1MM.

This made for a bit of confusing interplay. To make the CocoaModem  
macros work right, I had to put the other stations call into a field.  
However, I also had to turn and type the call and exchange into N1MM.  
Sometimes CocoaModem was into the wrong macro mode when I went to  
call someone -- sorry for CQing on top of you.

Despite the extra work, it was worth it. CocoaModem really rocks! I  
had tried out MMTTY, but there is no comparison. CocoaModem could  
often decode signals cleanly that had barely discernable tuning  
patterns.

Had fun.
