[MiQP-Mail] Attention N1MM Users (additional info)

[David Pruett]

All:

Tim's comments are right on the money  He and I see this over and over 
again in MiQP (which I logcheck), OhQP (which Tim logchecks), the ARRL 
160M contest (which Tim logchecks), and finally the ARRL 10M Contest 
(which I logcheck).

Bob/KØRC posted a note earlier attempting to help another N1MM user with 
a problem involving QSO number sequencing, but his advice may help solve 
this problem also. He said that in the N1MM Contest Setup window, for 
MiQP it should be setup as "001 URCOUNTYABBRV" (no quotes).

(Added K8CC comment):If your program is not set this way, you should be 
able to change this and re-generate a new (corrected) Cabrillo file from 
the N1MM program.Of course, this assumes that URCOUNTYABBRV (e.g., your 
county abbreviation) is set correctly to your county abbreviation 
elsewhere in the program.

If this isn't clear enough, I'm sure that somebody on the N1MM reflector 
can explain it better.

Hopefully, this helps N1MM users to generate correct logs that will be 
accepted the first time, saving them some effort.

73,

Please see the N1MM documentation or seek guidance from the N1MM support community as to how to correctly configure the software.
