Dave,
After a little help from folks here, it was easy to log all QSOs with N1MM and
I did have a half dozen US QSOs.
Actually, it turned out easier to log them than I it had been in the past,
didn't require the three key combo, just hot enter and away you go.
I did notice that the QSOs without any entry in the POWER area were bounced by
the ARRL robot, the others I put the state in that slot. Hmmm, maybe I should
fix that and resubmit...
