Comments:

Again, I had great ambition for this contest.  Woke up on Sunday morning with
radio, but the lightning detector was not going off like it was when I vent to
bed.  I had configured N1MM+ during the lightning of yesterday and thought I was
ready to go.  Started calling and nothing.  I discovered that every time WSJT-X
transmitted that the filter of the IC-7610 change to MID or 1200 Hz.  It doesn't
do that with just WSJT-X and JTAlert.  I did make a few contacts.  One of which
was Pete (W4WWQ) and quit to take care of some chores.  I came back in a little
after 4:00PM.  I heard Mark (N2QT) and tried to call him, but no answer.  I
looked at the radio and it was transmitting RTTY mark tone.  Now, how did that
happen.  Reset, rebooted and made a couple of setup changes and I started
transmitting FT8.  Managed to make a few more contacts including Henry (K4YCR),
before the time ran out.

Only put in 1:17 Hrs. in the chair.

Apparently, if you setup N1MM+ for two radios in N1MM+ in anticipation of making
some 2M or 70cm contacts, N1MM+ doesn't know how to route the WSJT-X control
request.  After the contest, I reconfigure N1MM+ for SO1V and all worked as
expected.  I must have ventured into an untested setup.
