[UK-CONTEST] G0RTN - 80m CC

[G3SJJ]

You were loud down here at M0CMU Alex. Yes, that UA9 was big also.

ESM is good until you get out of sequence, particularly if you decide to 
send summat on the external keyer. Don't know if you can do it on SD but 
N1MM has a simulated F key pad in the each of the two Entry Windows. The 
next key to press is highlighted in green and it is really useful. There 
is also a Log It Now key which to my disgust I have found is good to 
click on so that you enter the QSO without sending a message. I really 
do hate the thought of using the mouse in a contest, most unnatural, but 
this one is better than sending rubbish!
