NOT1MM Logger
Project description
Not1MM
What and why is Not1MM
Not1MM's interface is a blantent ripoff of N1MM. It is NOT N1MM and any problem you have with this software should in no way reflect on their software.
If you use Windows(tm) you should run their, or some other, program.
I personally don't. While it may be possible to get N1MM working under Wine, I haven't checked, I'd rather not have to jump thru the hoops.
Currently this exists for my own personal amusement. Something to do in my free time. While I'm not watching TV, Right vs Left political 'News' programs, mind numbing 'Reality' TV etc...
What it is not
Working.
The current state is "Not Working". I literally just dragged some widgets out on a Qt Designer window, and wrote a couple stubs to display the interface. Next to nothing is working or useful.
What it probably never will be
Feature complete.

Running from source
Since this is packaged for PyPi, if you want to work on your own source branch, after cloning from github you would:
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install setuptools
pip install build
source rebuild.sh
from the root directory. This installs a build chain and a local editable copy of not1mm.
There's two ways to launch the program from the local editable copy.
You can either be in the root of the source directory and type:
python not1mm
or be in some other directory and just type:
not1mm
Hiding screen elements
You can show or hide certain buttons/indicators by checking and unchecking their boxes under the view menu. You can then resize the screen to make it more compact.
The your choices will be remembered when you relaunch the program.
Editing function key macros
You can edit the CW macros by right clicking on the buttons and filling out the dialog.
cty.dat and QRZ lookups for distance and bearing
When a callsign is entered, a look up is first done in a cty.dat file to determin the country of origin, geographic center, cq zone and ITU region. Great circle calculations are done to determin the heading and distance from your gridsquare to the grographic center. This information then displayed at the bottom left.
After this, a request is made to QRZ for the gridsquare of the callsign. If there is a response the information is recalculated and displayed. You'll know is this has happened, since the gridsquare will replace the word "Regional".
Settings dialog
Added a settings screen.
You can fill it out if you want to. You can leave our friends behind. 'Cause your friends don't fill, and if they don't fill. Well, they're no friends of yours.
You can fill. You can fill. Everyone look at your keys.
I forgot my hat today.
Other uses for the call field
- [Freqnency] You can enter a frequency in kilohertz. This will change the band you're logging on. If you have CAT control, this will change the frequency of the radio as well.
- [CW, SSB, RTTY] You can set the mode logged. If you have CAT control this will also change the mode on the radio.
- [OPON] Change the operator currently logging.
You must press the SPACE bar after entering any of the above.
Log Display
At this point the log display window doesn't do all that much except exist.
