Yeah, this has been in the drafts mode that long. When I first drafted this, the next was Wednesday, at 1300z (6:00 a.m. The template has logic in it to estimate the time. CWT, by CWOPS, is one of those built-in ones.

There are at least a hundred different contests baked into the software. When you create logs, you have the option of selecting a template with the rules for a specific contest. Okay, when we want to start an event like CWT, we’ll create a new log: Create a new log in your existing contact database For the longest time, I kept interpreting “log” to mean “my complete history of contacts,” which I did not want to redo. The model N1MM uses is you have one (or more) databases for all of your activity, and for each event, you create a specific log in that database. N1MM+ can be used for a variety of other events, not exclusively CWT or even Morse Code.

Thus, this blog entry covers how to use the N1MM+ software while participating in the weekly CWT contest. N1MM+ – this is a popular amateur radio contest logging program.It’s a one-hour contest where the average communication speed is well-above 25 wpm. CWT – is CWOps‘ CW contest held 3x a week, on Wednesdays at 1300Z, 1900Z, +0300Z.…) as the standard “unit.” As a comparison, I can write about 15 words per minute, type about 70 wpm. For Morse code, we typically use the word “Paris” (. WPM – words per minute is a gauge of how fast one is communicating.Spaces between dots and dashes, letters, and words are one, three and seven time-units, respectively. A dot is a tone emitted for one time-unit, a dash is a tone emitted for three-time-units. It uses Morse Code, consisting of dots, dashes, and spaces. CW – stands for continuous wave, a simple method of communication where a signal is either on or off.There is also a walkthrough of N1MM+ here that I did for my intermediate class earlier this week.
