Many VU participants who were calling CQ contests, received numbers for YBDXPI from me. It was only later that I came to know that my VU friends were participating in the <a href=\"https:\/\/arsi.info\/cq-vu-ssb-40m-contest\/\">ARSI 40M CQ VU SSB Contest<\/a> and not in the other DX contests. When I had a look at the rules of the contests, there was one thing in common: Logs have to be submitted in Cabrillo format. That led me to the N1MM Logger+ software, which I downloaded from the <a href=\"https:\/\/n1mmwp.hamdocs.com\/mmfiles\/categories\/programfullinstall\/\">website link<\/a>. After installing the software, there were three new icons on my Windows desktop named N1MM Logger+, N1MM Rotor and SDR Server.<\/p>\n<p>First I clicked on N1MM Logger+ as I do not have an antenna rotator and I am yet to connect my FT-710 radio to the computer, though I have the type A to type B USB cable ready with me. It suggested N1MM Logger+ folder in My Documents for storing logs and I accepted. Then the options were either to Create new N1MM Logger+ database or Open Existing N1MM Logger+ database with former as default one. After clicking that a dialog box asked me to setup my station info in Config\/Station. After filling in station details, I was asked to update to the latest version and I did that. There was a warning which asked me not to store the log file in cloud which could lead to data corruption. I was asked to reinstall with N1MM Logger+ database location in computer. But as far as I could see, the database was within my computer itself! After finishing install, I was asked to reboot my computer.<\/p>\n<p>Next I proceeded to make a new log in the database. I changed the start date to 6th April 2024 as that was the start date of the contests which I mentioned. I used the other default options except power, which I changed to LOW as my radio had only 100 W PEP maximum power output. Then in the VFO A window, I chose band as 10 m and then Edit. Entered callsign of the first station contacted, time, frequency and number sent. After that I clicked log and the QSO appeared in the list of the database. I followed the same procedure for the three QSOs I had made during the SPDX contest. After correcting errors which were seen in the log entries, I generated a Cabrillo file and saved it. A prompt suggested upload to Super Check Partial. Then I submitted my logs at the contest website, which immediately told me to reupload after correcting errors. Checked again and found that date was today&#8217;s date and not the date of the contacts! Tried to reupload. This time it was better: More than 20% is flawed. Correct and resubmit! Now I have to figure out where I went wrong!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend I had participated in YBDXPI and SPDX contests, just for the fun of working some DX stations, though I knew perfectly well that I will never reach anywhere near a contest win, with my limited setup.
