[CQ-Contest] Linux Logging Programs

[Steve Lott]

As someone that used CT (yes I am Old)
as well as WL, TRLog and others

I love N1MM+

I also appreciate this thread
discussions that are civil like this one help us all

In many respects Logging software is a personal thing
In MM environments if the hoist station is using N1MM (either version) and
is in NA
99.999% of the ops will have a good handle on use of it

in EU and other parts of the world it appears the above is the case with
WinTest
with a few exceptions

If your a cw op and you have not embraced ESM, you should !
I am not what I consider a cw op but ESM (Enter sends Message in N1MM)
makes cw fun

Cheers!
