Hi All,
I typically fill in all the static parts of the macro rather than use shortcut
characters, mostly because I can't remember them all and would need to look
them up at the start of each contest.
Once I had "AH60Z" in my CQ macro, TWICE. Chen called me to point out that I
had a "0" (zero) instead of an "O" (oh) and he was having a hard time filling
his call field. Looked good to me ;-)
73 es Aloha,
Walt
AH6OZ
Once I was in a hurry and used "AH60Z" in my CQ macro
