Great . . .

I started using WriteLog for contesting on CW, SSB and especially RTTY a few months back. A fine piece of software and a value for the price.
Last week I wanted to enter the Makrothen RTTY test. I spent around an hour late Friday evening, trying to get the Makrothen module for WriteLog working. A web search indicated I was not alone in my frustration.
As a last ditch effort, I looked for other software programs that supported the Makrothen RTTY contest. Many were of the "30 day free trial" variety. Some looked like old DOS programs ported to Windows. Yeechh.
Then I found N1MM. What a nice piece of software. I had it up and running with MMTTY in the Makrothen test within minutes. And it has some nice features I've never found with WriteLog, like a "right in your face" wipe clear button to erase the logging window. I had logged a dozen or so QSOs into MMTTY direct and found little difficulty while importing them into N1MM via ADIF, too. Pretty darn user friendly.
The program is free to boot. Kudos. I look forward to running it through its paces in other contests.

Excellent Contest logging software
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

Reliable, responsive, flexible and excellent support!
After using DOS contest software for many moons I finally upgraded to Windows XP in the hamshack about a year ago. I tried several different windows contesting software and N1MM was the clear winner.
It supports an amazing number of contests.
The support team is very responsive to a request for a change or enhancement.
Updates and enhancements are made available on a very timely basis.
Networking is rock solid.
Supports excellent CW keying options.
If you have not tried N1MM in a contest, you should.

Its been several years since my last review of N1MM and this is still a superb program. My phone and contesting participation have significantly increased and N1MM has not failed to keep step with me.
I keep hearing from several members of a major contesting club that WriteLog or CT can do something where N1MM can't and everytime I point out how to do it in N1MM. You may not do it in the exact same way as the other programs but it supports every feature they do.
In a recent M/2 effort both computers kept their logs in sync and each operator knew what was going on.
This is professional grade software. Basic and power users can use this software with equal effectiveness.
From the casual to the serious contester - N1MM is the choice.

just the best one
|
Time owned: months

I think I've tried them all, N1MM is just the best one. Not because it's free, just because it does everything the rivals do, and it does more than they do.
Another reason - it is almost an open-source project. No one can develop contest logger solely these days, contest loggers become too complex and only the open-source project can provide permanent development. Closed proprietary amateur software just not competitive anymore.

Great for the price, but...........

OK, I'll keep it simple:
If you are a serious contester then WRITELOG is the best choice.
If you are a casual contester, or very cheap, then N1MM should suit your needs.

Way UnderPriced

I have been dabbling in contesting of late and came to the realization that my every day Logger (LOGIC 8) just wasnt up to the task of doing contest logging. The Logger market is over populated with decent programs, most offering a free trial. So for the last couple of months I have been trying them ALL. Yes, if it has a free trial, I have tried it. I picked N1MM for my contesting needs. It is very comprehensive and fairly easy to figure out. The help and Manual are second to none. One of the BEST manuals I have seen for ham software.
I used the software this weekend for CIS RTTY contest. It worked great with MMTY/MVARI.
Why this software is free is beyond me. Other software that costs $$$$$$ isnt even close to the quality of N1MM logger. Thanks to ALL that make N1MM free.

Better and Better

Time owned: more than 12 months

I have been using the N1MM logger for contesting for more than two years. My primary usage is RTTY contesting. The MMTTY interface works flawlessly when setup correctly with a Microham USB II interface. My Rig is a TS-480SAT teamed with a Dell D820 laptop. I use a LDG AT-200 Pro auto-tuner with a G5RV. During Field Day I add a PK-232 TNC and an IC-V8000 2-meter rig to obtain DX Cluster info from a station that is two miles from our FD site (KR9U). I have also programmed wav files for the software using Audacity and done voice keying phone contests. I have also used MMVARI for PSK31 contests. N1MM supports the K1EL keyer, but, I have not attempted any CW contests yet. The software keeps getting better and better. I have not attempted any networked multi-computer stations yet. N1MM supports up to 15 stations. The documentation is extensive at last count the manual is more than 395 pages (Adobe PDF) with all topics hyperlinked. No need to print the manual. My hats off to the programmers, N1MM and his team. I have looked at the other contest logging programs ($$$$$), but, for me this one does it all and does it well. This one is FREE, although it does not hurt to donate to the effort. There are also extensive help files for the software and Tom, N1MM does respond to questions via email.

The Best
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I was comparing N1MM to some of the other loggers that I had heard were in more top contest stations overall, what I saw were programs with less contests covered overall than just the RTTY contests in N1MM, or other programs that used a separate program for each contest, at a price too
N1MM does it all in one package, very solid, completely free, and continuously updated by a group of hardworking programmers.
As many others stated it works great in the digital modes with the MMTTY engine, it has all the bells and whistles, live online stats, complete export functions, you can even export program settings to a friend, it does everything you need done in a contest, period.
If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for? It won't cost you a thing,

great, especially for RTTY contests

I've enjoyed using N1MM logger for several contests, and I especially like it for RTTY contests. It is nicely integrated with MMTTY. It does have a few quirks, however. If you don't enter a callsign in the callsign window, the serial number (to send) is not incremented. This is not intuitive and resulted in a few busted calls. Too bad there's no option to work around this problem (should auto-increment before the next QSO). Other than this minor problem, this software is great and you can't beat the price. Works FB with my Yaesu FT-950.

HUGE HELP for T88RY!
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
At home I normally use this software for contesting and it is complete and powerful.
Also, I have been using it in Palau as T88RY. Propagation was very poor with USA and EUROPE. Signals were very weak but this software was able to identify callsigns among many received characters and gave me a huge help for logging the correct callsigns.
HUGE HELP and HUGE PROGRAM from the N1MM team !
