Comments:
Again, I had great ambition for this contest. Woke up on Sunday morning with
radio, but the lightning detector was not going off like it was when I vent to
bed. I had configured N1MM+ during the lightning of yesterday and thought I was
ready to go. Started calling and nothing. I discovered that every time WSJT-X
transmitted that the filter of the IC-7610 change to MID or 1200 Hz. It doesn't
do that with just WSJT-X and JTAlert. I did make a few contacts. One of which
was Pete (W4WWQ) and quit to take care of some chores. I came back in a little
after 4:00PM. I heard Mark (N2QT) and tried to call him, but no answer. I
looked at the radio and it was transmitting RTTY mark tone. Now, how did that
happen. Reset, rebooted and made a couple of setup changes and I started
transmitting FT8. Managed to make a few more contacts including Henry (K4YCR),
before the time ran out.
Only put in 1:17 Hrs. in the chair.
Apparently, if you setup N1MM+ for two radios in N1MM+ in anticipation of making
some 2M or 70cm contacts, N1MM+ doesn't know how to route the WSJT-X control
request. After the contest, I reconfigure N1MM+ for SO1V and all worked as
expected. I must have ventured into an untested setup.
