Hi George
Re Notes
In the MM menu click on View > Notes and you should see a window with all your notes in it. You then have the option of saving them to the clipboard or as a .txt file

Subject: [FQP] N1MM+ in the FQP"
Hello FQP'ers,
At K4KG/m we used NMM+ in the FQP for the first time, and noticed a few
things that I will report to the developers. If you also used N1MM+,
and specifically its FQP module, please let me know if you have anything
that I should add to my report.
1.) QSOs with DX stations - In the FQP, it is permissible to enter the
prefix of a DX station for the exchange, such as "I" for I4VEQ, or
"DX". Either way is acceptable. However, N1MM+ will not accept "DX".
Also, it would not accept "E51/S" which automatically populated into the
field for the E51 station we worked. I tried "E5" and "E51", but it
would not take them either. If N1MM+ will not accept "E51", what other
DXCC entities' prefixes will not be recognized? In order for N1MM+ to
accept "DX" and "E51", I had to answer "Yes" in the error box that
flashed up.
I will request that the developers fix this.
2.) We worked KH7XS and HI8A, and N1M+ accepted "HI" as the exchange for
both. Another example is "ON" for both Ontario and Belgium. Question
for the developers:: Are these identical exchange abbreviations counted
as separate multipliers in the Summary?
3.) As I work a contest, I add notes to the log to be followed up after
the contest. I did this in N1MM+ using Ctrl-N, but when I went to find
a file of these notes, I found that it did not exist. Rather, I
discovered that the notes were added as "comments" in the specific log
record, and not exportable as a separate notes file as other logging
programs provide. There was no way for me to go back and find my
notes. This is the way the developers build the program, but for me, it
falls short of what I need.
I'd like to see a command to enter a "comment" [something like Ctrl-C]
for a log record and a separate command to enter a "note" [Ctrl-N] for
the log, and that the notes be exportable in a file.
FQP'ers: If you know of other things about N1MM" FQP Module that I
should include in my report to the N1MM+ developers, please let me
know. Be specific about the FQP module, and not general comments about
N1MM+.
