[CQ-Contest] Ideal monitor size

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

This is an interesting thread to see what others have chosen for their 
display systems.

Regarding N1MM+ taking a lot of screen real estate when running RTTY, 
some space can be saved by turning off the default 24 message macros 
that show up in the DI-1 and DI-2 windows. To accomplish this, go into 
the DI menu bar - Setup > Settings > Message Setup tab and near the 
upper right corner, set Number of Message to 0. That will allow you to 
squeeze the DI window vertically to show only 4 or 5 lines of RX text. 
This retains the 12 S&P and 12 Run macros in the Entry Window what 
should be more than adequate for serious contesting.
