[CQ-Contest] Newbies in SS (was ARRL Sweepstakes CW, on N1MM+ group)

[Jim Preston]

I have both N1MM+ and Log4OM running at the same time. N1MM+ logs each 
QSO to Log4OM as soon as it is logged in N1mm+. If I work a station not 
in the contest (a needed DX in a different mode, for example), I log 
that QSO directly to Log4OM without having to do any other switching of 
logs.

If a station that isn't in the contest works me without giving the 
contest exchange, and I can't convince him to give it, I work him, put 
him in my general log, and move on. Of course, it is also possible to 
log him in N1MM+ and mark it as a bad QSO.

73,
