## What and why is Not1MM

### The elephant in the room

Not1MM's interface is a blatant ripoff of N1MM. It is NOT N1MM and any problem
you have with this software should in no way reflect on their software.

### The What

Not1MM attempts to be a useable amateur radio, or HAM, contest logger. It's
written in Python, 3.9+, and uses Qt6 framework for the graphical interface
and SQLite for the database.

### Target Environment

The primary target for this application is Linux. It may be able to run on other
platforms, BSD, Mac and Windows. But I don't have a way, or desire, to directly
support them.

### The Why

**Currently this exists for my own personal amusement**. I've recently retired
after 35+ years working for 'The Phone Company', GTE -> Verizon -> Frontier.
And being a Gentleman of Leisure, needed something to do in my free time.
I'm a casual contester and could not find any contesting software for Linux that
I wanted to use. There is [Tucnak](http://tucnak.nagano.cz/) which is very robust
and mature. It just wasn't for me.

### General logging

In short... Don't. There are much better general purpose QSO logging programs.
Try QLog or CQRLog.

## Current state

### Code maturity

The current state is "**BETA**".

I've used it for quite a few contests, and was able to work contacts and submit
cabrillos at the end. There are still quite a few features I'd like to implement.
And "BETA" is a sort of get out of jail free badge for coders. A safety net for
when the program craps the bed. I'm only one guy, so if you see a bug let me know.

### Data and RTTY

I've recently added portions of code to watch for WSTJ-X and fldigi QSOs. I've added
the Weekly RTTY Test, So RTTY could be tested. Also added FT8/4 and RTTY to ARRL Field
Day and ARRL VHF. Praying that it works. I'll add more details later.

### Other not so supported contests

Of note, state QSO parties. I haven't worked any yet. And no one has submitted a PR
adding one... So there you go. In the near future I'll probably add California, guess
where I live, and the 4 states QSO party.

## Our Code Contributors ✨

I wish to thank those who've contributed to the project. Below is an automatically
generated, 'cause I'm lazy, list of those who've submitted PR's.

## Flatpak

I've tried for a couple days to get not1mm to build as a flatpak. I've failed.
It keeps failing at building numpy. If you happen to be a flatpak savant, please
feel free to look at com.github.mbridak.not1mm.yaml and python3-modules.yaml and
clue me into the black magic needed to get it to work.

## Installation

### Prerequisites

not1mm requires:

- Python 3.9+
- PyQt6
- libportaudio2
- libxcb-cursor0 (maybe... Depends on the distro)

You should install these through your distribution's package manager before continuing.

### Common installation recipes for Ubuntu and Fedora

I've taken the time to install some common Linux distributions into a VM and
noted the minimum steps needed to install not1mm.

<details>

<summary><b>Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, 23.04 and 24.04 LTS</b></summary>

#### Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install -y python3-pip python3-numpy libxcb-cursor0 libportaudio2
python3 -m pip install -U pip
# Logout and back in
pip3 install PyQt6
pip3 install not1mm
```

#### Ubuntu 23.04

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install -y libportaudio2 pipx libxcb-cursor0
pipx install not1mm
pipx ensurepath
```

#### Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install -y libportaudio2 pyqt6-dev-tools python3-pip
pip install --break-system-packages not1mm
source .profile
```

<br>

### Python, PyPI, pip and pipx

This software is a Python package hosted on PyPI, and installable with the pip
or pipx command. If this is your first exposure to Python packaging you can get
all the details from:

- [The PyPA](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/installing-packages/)
- [Install packages in a virtual environment using pip and venv](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/)
- [Installing stand alone command line tools](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/installing-stand-alone-command-line-tools/)

In short, You should install stuff into a Python virtual environment. Newer
Linux distros will make you do this unless you include a command line argument
akin to '--break-my-system' when using pip. I'm not telling you to use pipx.
But... **Use pipx**.

#### Bootstrapping pipx

Assuming you have only Python installed, your path to pipx is:

```bash
# First get pip installed. Either with apt or dnf, or the ensurepip command.
python3 -m ensurepip

# Update the pip that was just installed.
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

# Install pipx
python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath
```

#### Installing with pipx

Then installing not1mm is as simple as:

```bash
# Install not1mm
pipx install not1mm
```

If you need to later update not1mm, you can do so with:

```bash
# Update not1mm
pipx upgrade not1mm
```

<details>
<summary><b>Installing from GitHub source.</b></summary>

### Installing from GitHub source

Since this is packaged for PyPI, if you want to work on your own source branch,
after cloning from github you would:

```bash
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:

```bash
python not1mm
```

or be in some other directory and just type:

```bash
not1mm
```

</details>

## After the install

You can now open a new terminal and type `not1mm`. On it's first run, it may or
may not install a lovely non AI generated icon, which you can later click on to
launch the application.

### You may or may not get a warning message like

```text
WARNING: The script not1mm is installed in '/home/mbridak/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.
Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.
```

If you do, just logout and back in, or reboot.

### Or this fan favorite

```text
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
```

You can use your package manager to load libxcb-cursor0.

If that's not an option, you can export an environment variable and launch the app like this:

`mbridak@vm:~$ export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland; not1mm`

For a more permanent solution you can place the line
`export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland` in your home directories .bashrc file. Then
after logging out and back in you should be able to launch it normally.

### Update your CTY and SCP files

After all the configuration stuff below and before operating in a contest, you
might want to update the CTY and SCP files. You can do this by choosing FILE->Update CTY and FILE->Update MASTER.SCP

## Various data file locations

### Data

If your system has an `XDG_DATA_HOME` environment variable set, the database and
CW macro files can be found there. Otherwise they will be found at
`yourhome/.local/share/not1mm`

### Config

Configuration file(s) can be found at the location defined by `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`.
Otherwise they will be found at `yourhome/.config/not1mm`

## The Database

### Why

The database holds... wait for it... data... I know shocker right. A database
can hold one or many contest logs. It also holds the station information,
everything shown in the Station Settings dialog. You can have one database for
the rest of your life. Filled with hundreds of contests you've logged. Or, you
can create a new database to hold just one contest. You do You Boo.

### The first one is free

On the initial running, a database is created for you called `ham.db`. This, and
all future databases, are located in the data directory mentioned above.

### Why limit yourself

You can create a new database by selecting `File` > `New Database` from the main
window, and give it a snazzy name. Why limit yourself. Hell, create one every
day for all I care. You can manage your own digital disaster.

### Revisiting an old friend

You can select a previously created databases for use by selecting
`File` > `Open Database`.

## Station Settings dialog (It's REQUIRED Russ)

After initial run of the program or creating a new database you will need to
fill out the Station Settings dialog that will pop up.

![settings screen](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/settings.png)

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 mine.

You can fill. You can fill. Everyone look at your keys.

[**I forgot my hat today**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM4okRvCg2g).

### Changing station information

Station information can be changed any time by going to
`File` > `Station Settings` and editing the information.

## Selecting a contest (It's REQUIRED Russ)

### Selecting a new contest

Select `File` > `New Contest`

![New Contest Dialog](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/new_contest.png)

### Selecting an existing contest as the current contest

Select `File` > `Open Contest`

![Open an existing contest](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/select_contest.png)

### Editing existing contest parameters

You can edit the parameters of a previously defined contest by selecting it as
the current contest. Then select `File` > `Edit Current Contest`. Click `OK` to
save the new values and reload the contest. `Cancel` to keep the existing
parameters.

## Configuration Settings

To setup your CAT control, CW keyer, Callsign lookups, select
`File` > `Configuration Settings`

The tabs for groups and n1mm are disabled and are for future expansion.

![Configuration Settings screen](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/configuration_settings.png)

### Lookup

For callsign lookup, Two services are supported. QRZ and HamQTH. They require a
username and password, Enter it here.

### Soundcard

Choose the sound output device for the voice keyer.

### CAT Control

Under the `CAT` TAB, you can choose either `rigctld` normally with an IP of
`127.0.0.1` and a port of `4532`. Or `flrig`, IP normally of `127.0.0.1` and a
port of `12345`. `None` is always an option, but is it really? There's an
onscreen icon for CAT status. Green good, Red bad, Grey neither.

### CW Keyer interface

Under the `CW` TAB, There are three options. `cwdaemon`, which normally uses IP
`127.0.0.1`port `6789`. `pywinkeyer` which normally uses IP `127.0.0.1` port `8000` and
`CAT` which if your radio supports it, sends Morse characters via rigctld. As far
as I can tell rigctld does not support setting the radios internal keyer speed. So
the CW speed control widget will not be functional and you'd need to control the
keyer speed thru the radios interface.

### Cluster

![Configuration Settings screen](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/configuration_cluster.png)

Under the `Cluster` TAB you can change the default AR Cluster server, port and
filter settings used for the bandmap window.

### N1MM Packets

Work has started on N1MM udp packets. So far just RadioInfo, contactinfo,
contactreplace and contactdelete.

![N1MM Packet Configuration Screen](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/blob/master/pic/n1mm_packet_config.png?raw=true)

When entering IP and Ports, enter them with a colon ':' between them. You can
enter multiple pairs on the same line if separated by a space ' '.

### Bands

You can define which bands appear in the main window. Those with checkmarks will
appear. Those without will not.

![Bands Configuration Screen](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/configure_bands.png)

## Logging WSJT-X FT8/FT4/ETC and FLDIGI RTTY contacts

**Digital modes only working for:**

- ARRL Field Day
- ARRL VHF
- Weekly RTTY
- CQ WW DX RTTY
- CQ WPX RTTY

not1mm listens for WSJT-X UDP traffic on the Multicast address 224.0.0.1:2237.
No setup is needed to be done on not1mm's side. That's good because I'm lazy.

not1mm polls for fldigi QSOs via it's XMLRPC interface. It does this in a rather stupid
way. It just keeps asking what was the last QSO and compares it to the previous response.
If it's different, it's new. I've added the Weekly RTTY Test so this can be tested.

The F1-F12 function keys be sent to fldigi via XMLRPC. Fldigi will be placed into TX
mode, the message will be sent and a ^r will be tacked onto the end to place it back into
RX mode.

Unlike WSJT, fldigi needs to be setup for this to work. The XMLRPC interface needs to be
active. And in fldigi's config dialog go to CONTESTS -> General -> CONTEST and select
Generic Contest. Make sure the Text Capture Order field says CALL EXCHANGE.

## Sending CW

Other than sending CW by hand, you can also send predefined CW text messages by
pressing F1 - F12. See next section on Editing macro keys. If you need to send
something freeform, you can press CTRL-SHIFT-K, this will expose an entry field
at the bottom of the window which you can type directly into. When you're done
you can either press CTRL-SHIFT-K again, or press the Enter Key to close the
field.

## Editing macro keys

To edit the macros, choose `File` > `Edit Macros`. This will open your systems
registered text editor with current macros loaded. When your done just save the
file and close the editor. The file loaded to edit, CW, SSB or RTTY, will be
determined by your current operating mode.

After editing and saving the macro file. You can force the logger to reload the
macro file by toggeling between `Run` and `S&P` states.

### Macro substitutions

You can include a limited set of substitution instructions.

|Macro|Substitution|
|---|---|
| {MYCALL} | Sends the station call. |
| {HISCALL} | Send what's in the callsign field. |
| {SNT} | Sends 5nn (cw) or 599 (ssb) |
| {SENTNR} | Sends whats in the SentNR field. |
| {EXCH} | Sends what's in the Sent Exchange field when contest is defined. |
| '#' | Sends serial number. |

### Macro use with voice

The macros when used with voice, will also accept filenames of WAV files to
play, excluding the file extension. The filename must be enclosed by brackets.
For example `[CQ]` will play `cq.wav`, `[again]` will play `again.wav`. The wav
files are stored in the operators personal data directory. The filenames must be
in lowercase. See [Various data file locations](#various-data-file-locations)
above for the location of your data files. For me, the macro `[cq]` will play
`/home/mbridak/.local/share/not1mm/K6GTE/cq.wav`

**The current wav files in place are not the ones you will want to use. They
sound like an idiot.** You can use something like Audacity to record new wav
files in your own voice.

Aside from the `[filename]` wav files, there are also NATO phonetic wav files
for each letter and number. So if your macro key holds
`{HISCALL} {SNT} {SENTNR}` and you have entered K5TUX in callsign field during
CQ WW SSB while in CQ Zone 3. You'll here Kilo 5 Tango Uniform X-ray, 5 9 9, 3.
Hopefully not in an idiots voice.

## 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.

![snapshot of heading and distance](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/heading_distance.png)

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".

![snapshot of heading and distance](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/heading_distance_qrz.png)

## Other uses for the call field

- [A Frequency] 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.**

## The Windows

### The Log Window

`Window`>`Log Window`

The Log display gets updated automatically when a contact is entered. The top
half is a list of all contacts.

![Log Display Window](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/logdisplay.png)

The bottom half of the log displays contacts sorted by what's currently in the
call entry field. The columns displayed in the log window are dependant on what
contests is currently active.

#### Editing a contact

![Editing a cell](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/edit_cell.png)

You can double click a cell in the log window and edit its contents.

You can also Right-Click on a cell to bring up the edit dialog.

![right click edit dialog](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/edit_dialog.png)

You can not directly edit the multiplier status of a contact. Instead see the
next section on recalculating mults. If you change the callsign make sure the
`WPX` field is still valid.

### The Bandmap Window

`Window`>`Bandmap`

Put your callsign in the top and press the connect button.

The bandmap window is, as with everything, a work in progress. The bandmap now
follows the VFO.

![Bandmap Window](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/bandmap.png)

VFO indicator now displays as small triangle in the frequency tickmarks. A small
blue rectangle shows the receivers bandwidth if one is reported.

![Bandmap Window](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/VFO_and_bandwidth_markers.png)

Clicked on spots now tune the radio and set the callsign field. Previously
worked calls are displayed in red.

### The Check Window

`Window`>`Check Window`

As you enter a callsign, the Check Window will show probable matches to calls
either in the MASTER.SCP file, your local log or the recent telnet spots. The
MASTER.SCP column will show results for strings of 3 or more matching characters
from the start of the call string. The local log and telnet columns will show
matches of any length appearing anywhere in the string.

Clicking on any of these items will change the callsign field.

### The Remote VFO Window

You can control the VFO on a remote rig by following the directions listed in
the link below. It's a small hardware project with a BOM of under $20, and
consisting of two parts.

1. Making the [VFO](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/blob/master/usb_vfo_knob/vfo.md)...
2. Then... `Window`>`VFO`

## Cabrillo

Click on `File` > `Generate Cabrillo`

The file will be placed in your home directory. The name will be in the format of:

`StationCall`\_`ContestName`\_`CurrentDate`\_`CurrentTime`.log

So for me it would look like:

K6GTE_CANADA-DAY_2023-09-04_07-47-05.log

Look, a log [eh](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El41sHXck-E)?

[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMI23JJUpGE) outlines some differences
between ARRL Field Day and Canada Day.

## ADIF

`File` > `Generate ADIF`

Boom... ADIF

`StationCall`\_`ContestName`\_`Date`\_`Time`.adi

## Recalulate Mults

After editing a contact and before generating a Cabrillo file. There is a Misc
menu option that will recalculate the multipliers incase an edit had caused a
change.

## Testing Out ESM Currently only in CQ WW

I caved and started working on ESM or Enter Sends Message. Currently it is only
working in the CQ WW. To test it out you can go to `FILE -> Configuration Settings`

![Config Screen](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/esm_config.png)

Check the mark to Enable ESM and tell it which function keys do what. The keys will need
to have the same function in both Run and S&P modes. The function keys will highlight
green depending on the state of the input fields. The green keys will be sent if you
press the Enter key. You should use the Space bar to move to another field.

The contact will be automatically logged once all the needed info is collected and the
QRZ (for Run) or Exchange (for S&P) is sent.

### Run States

## Contest specific notes

I found it might be beneficial to have a section devoted to wierd quirky things
about operating a specific contests.

### ARRL Sweekstakes

#### The exchange parser

This was a pain in the tukus. There are so many elements to the exchange, and
one input field aside from the callsign field. So I had to write sort of a
'parser'. The parser moves over your input string following some basic rules and
is re-evaluated with each keypress and the parsed result will be displayed in
the label over the field. The exchange looks like `124 A K6GTE 17 ORG`, a Serial
number, Precidence, Callsign, Year Licenced and Section. even though the
callsign is given as part of the exchange, the callsign does not have to be
entered and is pulled from the callsign field. If the exchange was entered as
`124 A 17 ORG` you would see:

![SS Parser Result](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/ss_parser_1.png)

You can enter the serial number and precidence, or the year and section as
pairs. For instance `124A 17ORG`. This would ensure the values get parsed
correctly.

You do not have to go back to correct typing. You can just tack the correct
items to the end of the field and the older values will get overwritten. So if
you entered `124A 17ORG Q`, the precidence will change from A to Q. If you need
to change the serial number you must append the precidence to it, `125A`.

If the callsign was entered wrong in the callsign field, you can put the correct
callsign some where in the exchange. As long as it shows up in the parsed label
above correctly your good.

The best thing you can do is play around with it to see how it behaves.

#### The exchange

In the `Sent Exchange` field of the New Contest dialog put in the Precidence,
Call, Check and Section. Example: `A K6GTE 17 ORG`.

For the Run Exchange macro I'd put `{HISCALL} {SENTNR} {EXCH}`.
