[CQ-Contest] N1MM+ in WAE

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

Hi Peter, 

I know you’re an ol’ pro @ CW but not sure if you’ve ever used N1MM in WAE
before (or if you’ve ever entered WAE before)
probably, but you didn’t say,
hi so pse don’t be offended by my advice.

CTRL-Z will only work after you’ve made a complete QSO with a partner.
First the QSO and THEN after it is 100% complete, then the QTC’s.
It will only work a 2nd time with another partner if you have extra QTC’s to
send.(and the QSO you just made cannot be sent back to that station) (so
make lots and lots of fake QSO’s before trying to exchange a 2nd set of
QTC’s in your test setup)

There is usually a hint at the bottom of the entry window...ie: no more
QTC';s, you've already sent QTC's...stuff like that.

Also, N1MM+ does a great job with coloring....blue, green, red, grey(or is
it black?) of the callsigns in the bandmap and E/W.....

For anyone brand new to WAE and N1MM, here's something
https://n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/manual-supported/contests-setup/setup-hf-contests
/#WAECW
 you can look over to familiarize yourself before the fray.  Also, the team
was able to honour my yearly request to make the QTC popup (font only)
sizeable - YAY!! Look in the upper right hand corner for those little font
sizing triangles.  We're not getting any younger. ;-)

Does any of this help?

Maybe you have used N1MM in WAE and have entered WAE many times and I am not
giving you anything new? 

I hope to be on part time this weekend (have responsibilities that will cut
into my op time) as WAE CW is one of my favorite contests.

CU then, I hope!

I am using N1MM+ and want to configure it for the upcoming WAE.

But I am having problems with the QTC pop up window. I am of course doing
something wrong.... but pressing Ctrl-Z only works one time just after
starting the program and adding a QSO.

When adding the next station in the log pressing Ctrl--Z does nothing, no
pop up window appears.

Any suggestion on what I have to do setting the program up for WAE CW so
that will enable me to enter more received QTCs than one and then restart
the program? :-)

Using the latest version of the program running on a Windows 7 Pro operating
system.
