[RTTY] WAE RTTY and QTCs

Yes, my contest program of choice is WriteLog but W4AAW uses N1MM+ and I've been doing a lot of remote contesting at W4AAW.
N1MM+ is a very nice program. I personally think WriteLog is better overall for RTTY, but N1MM+ is pretty damn good too.

Don,

So I take it your not a Writelog user?

To me N1MM looks too "cartoonish" for my tastes.
