Since we haven't yet been asked to cease with this thread I'll throw
my oar in the water. I know I will never "win" any contests with my
station. Nevertheless I often enter with the intent of getting every
contact I possibly can. It's not so much about competing, even with
my own past efforts, as it is sharpening my operating skills.
Improving my skills is a very powerful motivation. I find a major
improvement during every contest I operate, and the faster I can run
stations the greater the overall improvement. Hence, even though I
know I won't be a winning contester, I want the best rate optimizing
tools I can get.
I've been using N1MM for several years. I am often a bit
"challenged" getting new software set up but I found this one
relatively painless.
73,
