[RTTY] WAE is coming

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

Fabi,

Thanks for this summary of new QTC features in N1MM Logger.

For those preparing to run the WAE contest this weekend a revised sample 
macro was uploaded this morning to the N1MM Logger website's File Gallery. 
The Sample Macros files for digital contests are on the website under >Files 
 >Sample Macro Files >Digital. Or click here:
http://n1mm.hamdocs.com/tiki-list_file_gallery.php?galleryId=13

Download the macro definitions file, WAE_rtty.mc, to your local N1MM 
directory. Select that file within N1MM: >File >Open Log in database
>Associated Files >Digital Function Key Filename.

You should also refer to the Contest Setup Instructions which can be found 
on the website in >Documents >Digging Deeper >Contest Setup and 
Configuration >Contest Setup Instructions >Digital Contests. Or click here:

Hi all,
WAE is coming this weekend and maybe some of you didn't have much time to 
prepare yet or to look for the latest software updates so I thought I would 
write a little note here in case.
N1MM:
version 11.11.01 is a must since a new color code is now in effect for the 
RTTY version of the contest. You will notice that for this contest the 
callsigns in the bandmap and the entry window (not the DI window) will take 
a special color depending on the qtc-qso status and here's an overview:
RED: multiplier
GREEN: you need to qso on this band and not yet exchanged qtc
BLUE: need qso on this band but already exchanged 10 qtcs (or same 
continent ---) no qtc allowed)
PURPLE: already qso on this band (dupe) but not yet exchanged qtcs
GREY: qso dupe - qtc dupe (leave it alone!)
This is a great addition and I think the N1MM crew deserves a hand for it.

2 heads up now for N1MM users:

. be carefull when running and using ESM routine since the logger after F2 
will prompt you to F3 TU and log even if no 'received number' is put in the 
exch window. It will just assign 0 (zero) as an exchange number as per the 
contest regulation. Problem is that most of the time it is simply a missed 
click on the exchange. Normally you would be propted to F8 (again) but not 
in this contest. So keep an eye on it or you will log a few 0 when it should 
have been another exch. #.

. If your're receiving a qtc and one of the calls happens to be one of those 
'special event' of unusual calls, the logger will not accept to SAVE the qtc 
because it thinks you have a busted call in there. If you're sure about the 
call, you can override this by pressing Ctrl and click on the SAVE button in 
the qtc window. This will bypass the problem and log your 10 qtcs.
Hope it helps.

Everything else seems to be working fb. Look forward to the contest (my 
favorite) and hope to meet as many of you as possible! Have fun!
