Feature request:
In Entry Window: just to the left of date-time-group a display of the current log... This would help dolts like me from getting all messed up switching between contests... 😁 73 ~ Jim AC0E

Tim, have you put in a
formal Feature Request? I know from 15 years observation that
the N1MM team takes FRs seriously, particularly when they come
from active contesters (I think you qualify). 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at <http://reversebeacon.net>, now spotting RTTY activity worldwide. For spots, please use your favorite "retail" DX cluster. On 4/20/2019 9:40 PM, Tim Shoppa wrote:

A wipe quickly fixes that for the odd occasion that I might expect this to occur. Or, is there something else I am missing. I don't do a lot of QSO party contesting. -- Gerald, VE1DT

Folks,
This change was made to eliminate corruption of the user database. Here is the release note.
Database Corruption: Do not allow the user to change contest logs if a contact was started.
It takes a lot of personal time to track down issues like this.

The requirement that all entry fields be blank dates from last summer is a MAJOR USABILITY DEGRADATION for weekends with more than one contest. Tim,

Re: N1MM+ for simultaneous contests ??

Pete, when this feature that I love - being able to Alt-F 2 to flip between contests with stuff in the entry windows - disappeared last summer, I filed a bug report. I was told by the developer that the way it used to work and I liked it to work was a bug, and I had obviously really miffed the guy because he told me about all the time he had invested in fixing this particular bug. I will take your advice, and try writing it as a feature request and try to use super nice words to not miff the guy again. It sure would be nice to have it back again, for WAE-CW weekend which also includes the MD-DC QSO Party. I flip contests hundreds of times that weekend and it sure would be nice to do so with stuff in the entry box again. Tim N3QE

TESTERS WANTED: Prototype website
For the past two months the N1MM Dev Team has been working to migrate the current website and its 900+ pages of documentation to a new platform. The work is 100% Content-complete and 90% Feature-complete. Goals The Primary Goal of the migration is to improve the ease-of-use in installing, configuring, and operating N1MM+ in contests. We cannot reduce the manual's page count, but we think we can deliver better tools for browsing and searching those pages to find the answers that you seek. Hopefully these better tools will bring you quick access to the right information and make you more self-sufficient. The Secondary Goal is to reduce the burden on the N1MM Dev Team members, who find themselves answering, re-answering and re-re-answering questions that are difficult to get answered on our current ill-equipped website. This new platform should deliver on that primary goal of self-sufficiency. New Features At first glance the new website looks like the old website, but under-the-covers things are very different. Some of the most significant improvements are:
The Challenge to N1MM+ Users If you have any spare time, please spend a little on the prototype website. Experiment with the new features listed above - particularly the Search, Advanced Search and Contests List. Create a bogus Bug Report and Feature Request. Leave comments, suggestions and questions in the Comments sections of the Prototype Description page. We hope to take the new website "live" in a few weeks and need some diligent testing before throwing that switch. -larry (K8UT)

Re: Entry window ?

Right-click on an empty part of the entry window and select Show Band Panel, and possibly also Band Panel Left Click Enabled (if you want to be able to click on the buttons to change bands). You can change which bands appear using the Change Band Panel Display option. The columns are controlled by the choice of Mode category in the contest setup.

Re: TESTERS WANTED: Prototype website

The new site looks great, thanks to all involved for the great work. One suggestion I have (which I have seen used very effectively) is to put a comments area on each page to allow questions to be asked about the content on that page. Then, periodically, someone can update the page's content to improve upon it so the questions that were asked would not have been asked, while at the same time deleting the questions that were addressed by updating the content and leaving a blank slate for the next round of clarifications/questions. 73, Matt NQ6N

Re: TESTERS WANTED: Prototype website

Looks nice.
One small request for the "supported Contest" list. It may be very nice, if every contest may have a column with the month - and with this someone may easier find a contest, which is running in the moment. (same for selection within N1MM+ may help a lot to avoid searching and trying ...) -- --- N1mm+Toolbox -> see at https://df1lx.darc.de ---

I could even get carried away here and also suggest that the program's "New Log" dialog could be enhanced to offer "this weekend's choices" instead of the full list. -- Gerald, VE1DT

That approach would also tell "at a glance" whether there IS an embedded contest setup for a particular contest ... w2jc

Errors in scoring in the Ontario QSO Party operation for Mobile/Rover on County Lines
ve3agc@...
The scoring for the Ontario QSO Party when operating as a mobile or rover has two problems. The OnQP has a bonus for activating counties by having at least 3 qsos from 3 different call signs in a county. The bonus is 300 points per activated county. Currently no check is being done for this.
The second error is more serious and applies to county line operation with two or more counties. The logging works great in both CW and SSB. However the problem exists for the second and subsequent entries in the log for that contact. When the first entry is logged a check is made to see if the contact qualifies as a new multiplier. This check is not made for the second and subsequent contacts with the same station in the additional counties. An example would be a contact from a county line with three counties present, say HTN,PEL and TOR in that sequence.when contact with VE3EJ in NIA county is made, there are three log entries in the log. If this is a new county entry with no previous NIA contacts by band the log entry for HTN will have a new multiplier check mark in the log. The remaining log entries for PEL and TOR will have no multiplier check mark even if they do not have any previous contacts for the VE3EJ county. This is present even in the first entries at the top of the log when there are no previous entries of any kind. No check is being made for previous contacts by the county sent by VE3EJ in these additional county log entries.. This results in a much lower score for the log as many multipliers are being missed. This error occurs only for logging by mobile/rover stations operating from multi county lines. Logging from a single county has no problems, and fixed stations do not have the problem. Bob VE3WG
