As mostly a S&P contester, I like that feature in N1MM. If I'm not breaking
through a pileup, I QSY and it puts the unworked station on the bandmap. I
mostly run non-assisted, so the only spots there are those that I've placed
on the bandmap. I'll move on and then check to see if I can break the
pileup at a later time. Of course, that method has its caveats- I recall
turning back to a spot on the bandmap to find a different station there-
and I thought I was working the original station. Shame on me to not listen
for the call before blindly calling him. Ended up that the new station
there was a dupe.
