I never got started with N3FJP's programs, but they have a good reputation
on this listserv. I'm sure you can go a long way with those programs.
N1MM has a contest called "DX" which I use for general logging. Ham Radio
Deluxe has a logging program, also, but I never got that to work with
Window-Eyes.
My main customizations so far with N1MM are to define actions for the Tab,
shift-Tab and Spacebar keys. Like many other programs, the spacebar moves
you between the callsign field and the most frequently changed field. N1MM
does a pretty good job of filling in the zones for CQWW QSO's, so when I was
running Europeans I would get into a routine of sending a CQ or a TU DE
W3IUU, sending the guy's call on my keyer, hitting another button for 599
T5, typing the callsign into the computer and hitting Enter. This time I
was using my speaker instead of headphones, so I could hear the computer
more clearly. I know that there are better ways of doing these things, but
that's my methodology at the moment.
And I heard Mike, W6QUV, a couple of times in this contest.
