Paul,

No need to "create some sort of spreadsheet so (you) can search by call from 
previous contest".

You can do that within N1MM+ with the call-history file feature. Here are some 
of the actions- put them together whatever way you wish:

If you have no seed file, open last week's contest in N1MM+ and make one from 
the current log, name it and save it. Open this file in Notepad and add the 
words "has 222" or whatever in the comment field (READ THE MANUAL for field 
definitions) for those you know have 222. 

When this edited call history file is later loaded into an N1MM+ contest log, 
it will now display "has 222" at the bottom of the entry window when that call 
is in the call field and you press the space bar. 

After every contest, you can "update call history with current log" ,save it 
again, and add and edit more comments. Go back to older logs and add them if 
you wish. 

In the Open Log window where you set contest type, use the Associated Files tab 
to automatically load the specified call history file, or not, or, just 
manually load your latest one when setting up for the contest. 

Add your process to your contest prep and post checklists.

Chet, N8RA

Good morning all,
Lots of good info on interfacing wsjt and n1mm. I'm going to try and implement 
the changes for January. Has anyone found a slick way to move contact to higher 
bands using digital?
I made a micro "plsqsy 222074" with limited success. Not knowing if others have 
additional bands is the biggest problem.
I plan on trying to create some sort of spreadsheet so I can search by call 
from previous contest.
Also, anyone have any success with digital using 903/1296? Terrestrial and EME?
I hope to have 6 bands in January with digital so now is the time to ask 
questions.
Had fun but was labor light on Sunday. Light opening to 4 land Sunday afternoon 
was nice. Only on FT8. No phone contacts heard.
Thanks for any feedback.
