I agree with Kelvin that field labels for N1MM are rather "fiddly" with 
Window-Eyes.  They are dependent on window position as much as the content. 
For dupe notifications you may be able to make use of text in a particular 
color.

You probably know that you use the spacebar to move between the callsign
field and one or more exchange fields (for most contests there's just one).
If for some reason you want to change the RST, you tab into the Sent, then
the Received fields.  Your cursor is on the Strength portion of the signal
report, and will overwrite the 9 with whatever single digit you type there.
Thus I can press Tab once, press 7, then tab twice to go into the exchange
field.  I have not used N1MM with a keyer that uses the function keys and
macros, but have sometimes reached a rate over 140 per hour using N1MM and
the FH2 keypad for my FT950 and its internal CW memories.  Have fun in the
contest!

Subject: Tips on N1MM logger?

Hi.

                I'm going to be on a three-op, dual radio team for this
weekend's WRTC run-up under the call AA3K. The other two guys on the team
use N1MM logger, which I've installed and configured pretty well with JAWS
14 on a Windows 7-64bit  machine. Now that I know how easily one person can
use one keyboard to send CW and log, it really opens my world to contesting.
If you haven't used it, and this sounds tempting, definitely download and
try it; it's free. I only got to connect it to one of the radios for about
10 minutes, last weekend, but I saw how, as you type in the call sign of a
station who is calling you, you just press enter to make a transmission that
includes his call sign and your information. Then, the program automatically
populates his RST field (with a 599, of course) and guesses at his IARU
zone, based on his call sign. If what he/she sends agrees with what has
automatically been entered, you just hit Enter and the program sends "tu"
and your call, and you're ready for the next contact. I see how easily one
can use the JAWS utility "Custom Label Assign" to give the fields more
meaningful labels-both in speech and Braille.

                I'm looking for any other tips or suggestions from blind
hams who have used N1MM for awhile, especially those who use it with JAWS or
NVDA. Maybe I'm the only one who didn't realize what all the hype for N1MM
was all about. Now that I do, I'm really excited about working contests,
even when I'm sole op at the home station. It finally feels like I can keep
up.



                By the way, check out the Morse Runner software (also free)
for a phenomenally realistic contest practice experience. It's like Flight
Simulator for the blind ham. You can choose to have it give you pile-ups,
and you can choose conditions like QRM, QRN, flutter, QSB, lids, etc. The up
and down arrow keys adjust your RIT; pdup and pgdn control key speed;
function keys have preprogrammed messages, and the logging functions and the
function key functions seem to be modeled on N1MM Logger. I can rack up and
log about 120 Qs and hour, so far. It's even pretty useable with a Braille
display. The only warning . it's definitely addictive.
