LHS Episode #507: Not1MM Deep Dive
Hello and welcome to the 507th installment of Linux in the Ham Shack. In this episode we have special guest Mike, K6GTE, to discuss his project called Not1MM. Linux has long been in need of a popular and well sorted contest logger and Mike has taken up the task. The N1MM contest logger for Windows has long been a staple of amateur radio contesting and Not1MM attempts to recreate some of that functionality as well as go off in its own direction. We find out everything about the new project, how it works, it's future and more. Thanks for listening and have a great week.

Announcing the 2023 NJQRP Skeeter Hunt
The long anticipated announcement for the 2023 NJQRP Skeeter Hunt - the 12th Annual, if you can believe that!
For all the details - please go to www.qsl.net/w2lj or go to the Skeeter Hunt page of this blog (the next to last tab on the right - located under the KX3 photo up at the top).
A few points to remember:
1) Due to a personal commitment, the Hunt has been moved to the 4th weekend of August - the 27th, for this year only.
2) New Bonus Point Challenge for 2023:
Eighteen Skeeters have graciously consented to act as Bonus Skeeters. They have been issued numbers that are palindromes (numbers that are the same forward and backward) - Skeeters 11, 22, 33, 44 ...... right through 151. When you work one, that QSO is worth 100 points - and you can work as many as you can up to 1,000 bonus points. The Bonus Skeeters are highlighted on the roster. A clarification - you can only claim the Bonus Skeeter once - so if you work W2LJ (#181) on 40, 20 and 15 Meters, you can only claim 100 Bonus point (not 300).
3) Skeeter numbers for the rest of you will be issued in the same way as they have since the beginning of this event. Send an e-mail with your name, your call sign and the state you will be operating from to either [email protected], or [email protected] NO SOONER THAN 12:01 AM EDT June 21st, the First Day of Summer. You will receive an e-mail back with your sequential number, or you can check the roster, by clicking here. Please do not apply for a number via the Facebook page, as I may very well miss your request - and we wouldn't want that to happen, would we? Numbers will be issued right up until the Midnight before the day of the event.
I hope you'll have fun and enjoy the Hunt this year - good luck and happy QRP'ing!
