Ed,
I use N1MM and there are some real neat features but once in a while, if I'm
not paying attention and do something out of sequence, where N1MM thinks I
am in the exchange is different then where I really am. It's not N1MM's
fault but my fault and as I use the features more, it becomes less of a
problem. In fact, I know I blew it when I was working Ed, W0YK, and the
cursor was in the wrong field. The 2 "oops" that happen are instead of
sending my own call or report it sends AGN? AGN? or it might send my
exchange vs my call.
Maybe in the 366 contacts I made there were 8-10 "oops" moments. Not sure if
that factors into what you experienced, but it could at least add to the
reason.
73,
