     RX: BEV 70m to EU

Logger: N1MM+

Another one contest with lack of propagation ((( 

Got few issues with N1MM+ when it won't open a QTC window. That usually comes
back after restarting the program.

Also got my N1MM+ started suffering from CW keying latency about 1 second. That
became very annoying and made me scared when it started increasing constantly.
Overall that has really slowed down my rate on Saturday afternoon during a good
opening of 20m band. I've taken one hour break to investigate the issue and
found a write operation to a log file was the reason due a huge database size.
I've found how to delete old contests and how to do a database de-fragmentation
after logs "surgery". Got my log back to fast operation after that.
But I lost few dozen good QSOs ))) Anyway now I'm an expert in N1MM DB
de-fragmentation )))

I was lucky to catch few short openings to EU on 10m. But there was almost
nothing compare to dozens mults could work some NA southern guys. A north QTH
has some disadvantages.

Thanks for all the QSOs ))

73!
