[UK-CONTEST] Software Poll

[Callum M0MCX]

I'm with Chris.

N1MM takes my vote every time for the graphics, usability, scalability,
networking, look'n'feel etc. It's free, simple and has fantastic support. 

I tried them all a couple of years ago - even that French "Wrong Log" or
something.. Yuk.

Best bits: Digital Voice Keying capabilities (immense!) SO2R support, Super
Check Partial support, Networking, Graphics implementation (all windows
resizable) etc and on 1920 x 1200 monitor, it's perfect. 

I do occasionally use SD for a secondary machine and VHF contests but it
genuinely feels like I've gone back 10 years.

N1MM

Why? Because it does all the things that everybody says their favourite
software does, but better.

Networking is the easiest ever to set up and is solid.

Cluster is the easiest ever to set up and is solid, and doesn't require a
second program.

It is not a CT lookalike.

The Entry window is separate to the log so the 2nd rx/radio window is a
mirror image rather than an add-on. That is really good for SO2V and SO2R

All Windows are re-sizeable and can be moved anywhere on the screen.

It doesn't promote poor operating standards.

It works well with WinKey.

I quite like the idea of seeing your 2nd radio CW message displayed when
running SO2R alternate CQs

John LZQ mentioned bonuses but since Cabrillo there is no need for claimed
score which can normally be worked out in Excel anyway, if you want. I did
that for 10 years are so using K8CC's NA. I don't need to know the bonuses
in an RSGB Contest since I wouldn't refuse a QSO if I hadn't worked the
station before.

I also use Logger 32 since general logging and contesting logging have
different requirements, but two loggers are sufficient.
