[SCCC] log submittal CQWW CW

[Dennis Younker NE6I]

I agree with those suggesting N1MM software. I'd heard that the learning 
curve is steep, and that might be if you have never used contesting 
software. I was using CQPwin (which does many more contests than CQP and is 
also free), and didn't find the transition to N1MM all that steep. I also 
agree that whatever software you use, you will want to install it as soon as 
you can before the contest and start getting used to it. Nothing like 
fumbling around in the contest while learning your software. Ahem, I 
resemble that remark!

I'm not sure which of N3FJP's software you were considering using, but his 
ACLOG will not be very user friendly in a contest. It's not set up for that. 
It can work but you'd be much better off with N1MM or CQPwin. I use N3FPP's 
ACLOG for day to day logging, and even at that, it's just okay in my book. 
For contesting, I think it would really fall down compared to real contest 
software.

Plenty of N1MM users here on the SCCC list that can help you if you go down 
that path.
