[UK-CONTEST] using N1MM in BERU

[Jim Martin - MM0BQI]

I think it is even more important when no cluster use is allowed to exploit
the bandmap.
In S+P, as I tune through the band, I spot (locally) each station I hear. If
I work them, they turn grey so I don't need to waste time listening to them
again.  If there is a pile-up or they are not hearing me I have them stored
on the bandmap so that once I have tuned the band I can use control up/down
arrow to move through each unworked station on the bandmap.
If I am running I should be tuning with the second VFO or second radio and
building up a visual picture of a different band.  When my run rate drops I
can QSY and work everyone on my bandmap or knock them off one at a time
between CQs on the run band.
Either way it beats loading up the rigs quick memory banks or noting calls
and frequencies on a piece of paper!
Looking forward to some good fun at the weekend.

I'm planning to use N1MM for BERU using the RSGBJUBILEE setting.  Two
problems will be:

1. I'm expecting an HQ station from the UK (GB5HQ?) which we can work for
bonus points, but N1MM wont log - I'll log it as HB5HQ and edit the cabrillo
at the end.

2. N1MM wont log the HQ suffix to the report from headquarter stations -
I'll log them as call/HQ and again edit the cabrillo

Jim, I agree N1MM has a great bandmap, but I don't think it will be of much
use as we are not allowed to use the cluster.

Enjoy BERU,

Mike
