The first hour really messed me up badly. I was having trouble getting 
N1MM+ working correctly although I had days before set it all up. For 
some reason it was not interfacing with flidigi correctly. My first 
contact was 53 minutes into the contest. Not a great showing but it was 
fun.



As Mike (WH6YH) had mentioned, N1MM+ has many layers and I too am 
probably using 1/10th the potential of that contest logging program. My 
unfamiliarity with the RTTY interfacing and therefore choosing flidigi 
in the beginning was a big mistake on my part. Once I decided to choose 
the MMVARI interface and adjust the macros to suit my need, I had nearly 
lost the entire first hour. flidigi waterfall looks much better and (I 
thought) easier for me to work with. Will have to work that out before 
the next RTTY contest.

Thanks to John (K4BAI) for setting up the team and regardless of the 
technical difficulties, I thoroughly enjoyed my first foray into the 
SPRINT contest format as well as my first RTTY contest.

73 to all,
                Bill - K4WDR
