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,
