[SECC] Roving with N1MM like me?

Scott,

Later versions of N1MM enhanced the use of the {ROVERQTH} macro. For
example, now the keybard combination of CONTROL+H will open a window where
the county, {ROVERQTH}, can be changed.  Type the new county designator and
hit Enter and the window closes.  With the {ROVERQTH} macro embeded in the
F-keys, your cw messages alway send the right county.  Also, the ROVERQTH is
recorded in the log and outputted with the cabrillo log.  Another advantage
is that your log is automatically a composite log of all the counties which
means that once you work a station in the GQP his exchange is pre-filled for
subsequent QSO's, saving a lot of keystrokes - which is nice in a moving,
bouncing  vehicle.

73, Ted W4NZ/m

Mr. Google found this nugget in the release notes several versions ago
(9.9.2 in Sept. of 09):

RoverQTH can be set in the new Station window field, by right clicking on
the county or grid in Multiplier window, or by entering ROVERQTH + Enter in
the Entry window callsign box. RoverQTH can be 10 characters long but most
Cabrillo output is five or six characters long. Added {ROVERQTH} macro to
send the RoverQTH. Current RoverQTH is displayed on the Entry window
boarder. Enabled by setting Operator Category to ROVER. Cabrillo output has
been modified, other output files need similar changed.

See you on the air!
