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.
