[CQ-Contest] Using N1MM to operate 2 contests...

[Charles Tropp]

   Ted Bryant W4NZ has posted the following suggestions on the N1MM list 
serve:


1) Create a new database for each of the two or more contests.
2) Name each database with its contest identifier, i.e. CQWW_CW.mdb, for 
example.
3) Set up each contest in its respective database complete with all F-key
definitions, call history, etc.
4) With it set up this way, when you want to change contests just go to 
FILE->Open Database, and select the database for the desired contest. 
You can also hit ALT+F which will open the file menu. It only takes 
seconds for the other contest to load.
