The Virginia QSO Party (VAQP) is this weekend and I'm finishing up final prep on the PC to get ready for this. It
|
||
|
|
starts at 0200Z tomorrow (18-03-2023). I'll be joining the club guys for monthly breakfast at 0800EDT to fuel up for
|
||
|
|
the thing.
|

|

|
This means the webstatus for my FT-1000MP will be down. This has absolutely nothing to do with the contest rules; they
|
||
|
|
have nothing prohibiting any use of spotting and even run their own spotting network. The limitation is with software.
|
||
|
|
N1MM does not support OmniRig, meaning it needs actual control of the COM port. I have attempted to split this using
|
||
|
|
com0com/hub4com and VSPE. While both programs connect with VSPE, Log4OM behaves erratically due to seeing N1MMs data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Maybe sometime in the future I'll figure out a way to get these two things to behave.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sometime next week I'll write a post-mortum about how things went, including using N1MM as a voice keyer
|
||
|
|
through the DVS-2 port interface I use for digital modes, and a post about my cheap and hacky hands free setup.
|
||
|
|
Spoiler: It uses ethernet cables and is really hacky.
