Well that was interesting! I wanted to use the session to try out a few 
things for the GB5HQ IARU effort. Kept the waffle to a minimum and speed 
at a steady 32wpm for the first 30 mins to bag 50 Qs. Not a high rate 
but enough to prove want I wanted to do. I think red wine syndrome took 
over then. Whatever, the whole darned shooting match locked up. FT1kMP 
wouldn't show any freq. N1MM kept asking if I wanted to send an error 
report. I must have really hit a load of bad keys and the only thing was 
to switch off the computer and radio and start again, losing about 11 
minutes. Did a mixture of searchy pounce and run after that for my 92 Qs.

Another funny thing, I can't remember setting up N1MM  (TMRW again) so 
goodness what contest I had chosen. It all worked very smoothly though 
except for my senior moment! Just goes to show how professional and 
advanced N1MM Logger is now.
