I started out with NA and switched to Writelog after using it at a VHF 
contesting effort several years back.  It was an easy transition since 
many of the keystrokes are the same.

I downloaded N1MM over 1 year ago and it locked up several times when I 
was testing with it, so I did not pursue it any further.  I am thinking 
that it was not an N1MM problem but a computer or program setup problem 
since other people that I talked to that used it did not have those 
problems.

I recently watched a video of a PVRC Contesting forum presentation on 
N1MM and was impressed with the features.  It has the ability to use one 
sound card channel for SO2R mode, which is something WL does not do.  In 
other words, I need one channel of audio to go into DXDoubler.  WL 
switches audio channels for a poor man's SO2R.  Yeah, I could have built 
a box to mix the audio, but then I just keep piling on one project after 
another and what I want to do is operate.

Looking at N1MM.com, the SO2R features seem to be a little more 
sophisticated.  WL also has the free form TR style entry for SS, like 
N1MM, but it sometimes get confused about what entry is what.  So I 
turned that off after about the fifth QSO.  N1MM might do that a bit 
better.

I will download it and give it another shot.
