Writelog vs N1MM+
"Down-under" working State QSO parties are not a regular occurrence however:
We use N1MM+ at VK4KW and I really like it - prior to that I used Writelog and
still have a current version, some of the features of N1MM that I prefer over
Writelog are the F Keys (Macro/message) on screen and right click accessible
edit of the F keys.
We used Writelog from VK4UC on RTTY.
Both have the new versions with Waterfalls which are neat.
Writelog can have more rigs hooked up
Writelog was not as memory hungry as N1MM

Subject: [CQ-Contest] WriteLog for State QSO Parties?
CQP has always taken pride in having every county active, making a 58 county
sweep possible. In 2017, N4PN did it in about 5 1/2 hours, and that's not a
record. As in-state participants age, it's gotten more difficult to get serious
operations in some of the more remote counties, so we (NCCC) are considering
permitting county-line operation, where each county is logged as a separate QSO.
I'm a long time N1MM user, which provides excellent support for logging state
QSO parties for both mobiles and fixed stations. For example, a two-county
exchange with "/" as a separator is correctly logged as a QSO for each county
(assuming the exchange is correct) :), and the county is correctly transferred
to the entry window if appended to the callsign with "/" as a separator. N1MM
also makes it super easy for a roving mobile to change counties.
Is WriteLog user-friendly for out-of-state participants? The N1MM team tends to
respond pretty quickly to changes in contest rules. If we update our rules,
what sort of turnaround time might the WriteLog team need?
If you actively work state QSO parties, especially CQP, do you use any logger
other than N1MM or WriteLog?
