Pass this on to rovers that operate in qso parties or vhf/uhf contests...
N1MM logger has been upgraded to make roving much easier for mobile
stations.  It now lets you change function key contents and log qth on the
fly with a single entry.  And no more merging logs at the end of a contest.

We used the "rover enhanced" version of N1MM in last weekend's Tennessee QSO
Party across 21 counties.  This makes changing counties simple, easy and
QUICK.  Also, if the F-key messages are set up using the new {ROVERQTH}
macro, when changing counties it will change programmed messages to always
send the current county designator.

One of the additional benefits of this fix for a mobile/rover is that a
composite log is created.  Having a composite log has several obvious
benefits.  One is that once you work a station, his exchange information
will be pre-filled from then on, eliminating the need to type it with each
QSO.  In a bouncing vehicle this is a BIG issue. Another benefit is the
constant update of the score summary across all counties so you always know
your overall progress.  Then, there is the fact that now generating a
cabrillo log and score summary is routine.
