Always would like to update the history file with real contest
QSOs ? Have an optimized history file for every contest ?
That is possible with Thucydides by Carel, PC5M.
Thucydides is a separate program developed to connect to N1MM Logger and history files. With this manager it is possible to update a current history file with the information gathered during logging contest qso’s. History file can be used to verify and fill in automatically specific information when logging new contacts (gridsquare, state, CK, etc).
The user can build up a separate (ms-access) database with imported history information from actual logged QSOs (with n1mm logger) and/or other history text files. Exporting the information to a dedicated history.txt file for a specific contest. Users can manipulate in great extend the behavior of the program (which fields to import or which fields to export) by updating a normal Excel configuration file.
Thucydides provides the following features
Please check the manual how to use the program. Check out the the N1MM website using the url in the links chapter.
AB_Switcher is a program to allow radio a/b switching on a comport without the use of a parallel port on the host computer. Basically this program monitors that sound card mixer output levels and switchs the DTR on the chosen comport to reflect the current radio TX focus.
The program supports switching of the Receive Focus as well as the Transmit
focus. This works under N1MM when in the $5S02R mode. A second
com port is used to output on DTR and RTS the necessary data to switch
external S02R box's that support Receive Focus switching.
It also can monitor
a second sound card and output on a second comport information about
the state of the RX focus. (Left/Right/Split). It does the by watching
the sound card mute controls for the selected inputs. AB Switcher Version 2 can provide any combination of the
three SO2R control signals. If only two of the three signals are needed,
AB Switcher requires only a single "serial port" and can use a port
above COM8.
With Dan's driver, it is now possible to effectively use the
microHAM MK2R/MK2R+ SO2R controllers with N1MM Logger and a "USB Only"
computer. The SW Synth and CD Audio inputs on the second codec (USB Audio
CODEC) in MK2R+ can be used as the Left/Right audio sources for "$5 SO2R"
without effecting any of the other options making USB Audio CODEC an
ideal "target" for $5 SO2R.
Check out the the N1MM website using the url in the links chapter.
NB. It is hoped that AB_Switcher will be an interim solution until the various contest programs make the SO2R control signals (TX Focus, RX Focus and Stereo) as options for the serial port DTR and RTS lines. 73, Joe, W4TV
I8NHJ has created a very nice web Interface to the N1MM Logger Database. This interface gives statistics about the contest, worked stations and much all in real time when needed. See the file WebInterface_Howto.txt in the zip file for installation instructions. Tested on Windows NT/W2K/XP. You'll need MS Office and MS Access 2000. MS Office is not needed to run N1MM logger only needed for the web interface!
From the HowTo.txt file and additional info from Max, I8NHJ
This program was designed to allow an easy, powerful and versatile interface to the log generated by the N1MM Logger during a contest or DXpedition. It is distributed AS IS, under the GNU license terms. It can be freely used and distributed but please leave in place the references to me (I8NHJ) and to the programmer (AGO) who helped in developing the code. Version 1.0, November 2002
The Web Interface is written using in-deep ASP techniques and it needs a full-asp support. This means that some investigation should be made to find a good ASP support for other platforms than Microsoft. Here we strongly use Linux but so far we still haven't found any working support for ASP and, moreover, this kind of solution could become too complex for the average user.
To get the full functionality from the tool, the Microsoft Office package must be installed on the Server side. Ms Access is not really needed but some graphical features are performed by components from Excel and Word.
To generate the graphics you need MS Office on the server side. If you haven't it, the Web Interface runs anyway but you will not get charts. NB.
Below an explanation from Franki, ON5ZO
Max I8NHJ has made an interface to go with the N1MMLogger software and it's database (*.mdb files).
Max kindly offered this tool to us, the N1MM Logger users. You can download the program from the N1MM logger web site under 'Downloads', select in the menu: 'Other Files'. The file name is 'webinterface1-x.zip'. This is not a program that can run on its own. In fact, it is some kind of web site/web page (without getting into details). This requires that you run a web server on your own Windows PC at home. There are several possibilities:
a) you know all about servers and ASP, and have an ASP capable server running. You're on your own, you're smarter than I am...
b) you are running Windows 2000 / NT / XP Pro > there's this thing called IIS that you need to install by inserting the CD, and run Windows Setup > Add components (The names may vary according to what Windows version you are using).
c) Win XP Home: too bad, IIS does not come with the 'light' version, so either you * mess with XP Home, some did with success, others like me without any luck go to: http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020118.htm * install a FREE non-Microsoft server and add ASP support. (See information below from Dave, G3VGR)
d) You run Windows 98 (and maybe this is good for Windows 95 too, did not test this): go to: http://coveryourasp.com/PWS.asp. Follow steps 1 to 7 (included)
When you finished option A or B or C or D successfully, and the server (IIS or PWS) is up and running, follow Max his guidelines in the ZIP-file.

Below some additional information from Dave, G3VGR
I've just successfully implemented the I8NHJ interface, using
the freeware Abyss Web Server from http://www.aprelium.com/.
ASP support needs to be added using the freeware ActiveHTML
software from seliSoft. http://www.selisoft.com/en/ahtml/
The Aprelium web site gives a blow-by-blow account on how to add
this support http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/asp.html
I only started using Logger today, so have only used a very small test log to verify all this.
73, Dave
Below some additional information from Uffe, PA5DD
I recently re-installed my whole system to Windows 2000 (same goes for XP etc.). It all works fine until I want to use the I8NHJ Web interface when the Logger has the same .mdb database file open. Then access is refused. Reason is that the Logger opens the database file "exclusively". This is a question of access rights. After installation of the Web interface, Internet user access rights has to be awarded to the directory where the Web interface is, as well as the Logger directory. To see how, use the link: http://www.aspemporium.com/aspemporium/tutorials/permdenied.asp
The Web server should have default.asp in its Default Document list. Alternatively you could address the page directly: http://localhost/logger/default.asp

Personal Web server
"If you have Windows 95 installed on your computer, you can install the Microsoft Personal Web Server from the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack. You can download the Option Pack from the Microsoft Web site."
Microsoft Personal Web Server can also be found in the "Add-on\pws" directory on the Win98SE install CD (at least on this Win98SE upgrade CD, US version).
Below some additional PWS information from Frans, PA5CA
I installed the PWS software for win98se, please note to install (over write) one of the dll files before executing the install.
It took me some time before I got the ASP statistics to work, now I'm quit happy. I used the following links....

AR Cluster User by Lee, VE7CC is a full featured Telnet and
TNC program for use with AR Cluster or DX Spider Nodes.
It has telnet and RS-232 outputs for logging and contest programs
like N1MM logger. Runs under Windows 95 to Windows XP and can
auto reconnect and automatically gets missed spots. It can be
used with telnet and TNC's.
The program can receive spots both in connected and unconnected
modes, this means it also recognizes spots when NOT connected to
any packet node, just monitoring the RF channel where other users
are receiving spots is good enough.
