Topband: Easy-to-learn 160 contest logging program?

[Ashton Lee]

I was able to install N1MM the day I received my General and play around in the California QSO Party… can’t be that hard if I managed it on day one.

Years later I am still finding additional features however.

But getting it to connect to the radio and log contacts is as easy as any other program.
