Comments:

My purpose in this contest was to see if I could come up the learning curve on
N1MM Logger far enough to use it in the ARRL RTTY Round-Up.  A lot of things
worked great and I think the call queue, in particular, is wonderful.  However,
there were 17 issues that I was not able to resolve using the Wiki Help files or
just by playing around.  A few of them are non-starters for me.  I was
configured as a multi-two and when I ran the log sync feature, about 140 QSOs
and 25 mults were deleted from the middle of both logs.  Another show-stopper
was the inability to get a second decoder running in parallel on the same audio
stream.  I never could get the DXP38 to play.  For now, I'll assume that all my
problems are of my own doing rather than software bugs.  But, there are far too
many to resolve by 2 January, so I'll stick with old reliable WriteLog which I'm
much more comfortable with due to using it for several years and tens of
thousands of contest QSOs.

Thanks to everyone who called in and endured my ineptness at times with the new
(to me) software.  I sincerely apologize for the 140 QSOs that disappeared from
the log and won't be on LoTW or availabe for QSLs.

P.S.  Since I ignored the 5-minute band-change rule, I entered as a multi-op
and the only choice on this 3830 form was MS, but that isn't right either. 
Maybe this can be a checklog!
