[RTTY] Understanding the N1MM plus dueling CQ function in RTTYSo2r

[Jeff AC0C]

The mouse is slick.   But after a while my wrist hurts from the knuckles to 
the forearm.  Frequent stretching helps but I keep pushing on the dueling CQ 
because the short relief it offers gives time to stretch both legs and 
wrists.

Actually the mousing isn't but so bad so long as the windows are right 
besides
each other. I use a gaming mouse which has a button programmed as ESC
and another with ALT/W.

It seems whatever you learn tends to be what you stick with. I've tried 
keyboard
centric contesting and don't do well. It hurts me for CW/SSB where there is 
typing
needed.
