The bands were good even worked a load of DX on 15 meters today and 80 and 40 were buzzing even 160 was going good last night.
In your screenshot of 17 Feb what is the software show in the various windows?
Thanks. Gene
Good morning Fred thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment, I never made it down to 15 to make any contacts. Unfortunately we were out for dinner parties most of the evenings of the contest so I was not able to check out evening hours on 40m.
Have a great week Fred,

Good morning Gene very nice to hear from you, as for the software…..one the screen of the PC is N1MM+ contest logger. Those windows for left to right are VFOA and the spotted contacts, below is my score broken down by band, then you have the spectrum (this is fed from the Icom 7610 into N1MM+) below that is the main window for entering contact info and logging contacts, below that is the telnet window and then for the far right is the log of my contacts. Now on the task bar below are some programs that are running on my second monitor screen. Google and Chrome, Dimensions 4 (clock sync program for digi) NordVPN, MRP40 (CW decode program for contester who send a machine gun speeds) then the N1MM+ program and finally a virtual keyboard program that is up and running. I use this program to take screen shots.
There you have the “stuff” on the screen.
73,
Mike
