[HCRA] Field Day: N1MM Basic How-to Video

[Matt Wilhelm (W1MSW)]

Howdy Fellow HCRA Members!

I found this little gem that VE3DVY put together on Field Day and using
N1MM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6wQK4c1s7M

This video is a great introduction to logging with N1MM. It only goes over
using N1MM while logging and leaves out all the configuration info that you
don't need to know for field day.  If it still seems too complicated, don't
worry, it's not. We'll walk you through it this weekend when you show up to
operate. You are going to be there to operate, right?

Probably the most important and hardest thing to remember is pressing
CTRL+o  and entering your callsign when you sit down at the station. This
signs you into the software and will let everyone else on the network know
that you're on that particular station and assign your callsign (or name if
you don't have a callsign) to each log entry. When you are finished
operating at that station, it's always a good idea to press CTRL+o again so
the prompt is waiting for the next person who comes by to operate and so
that they won't log QSOs under your call.

See you all at School Street Park in Agawam this weekend!
