I agree, If you can't remember to hit the enter key, what good is another
key that does the same thing? Maybe you need to have them add a banner
that flashes 'HIT THE ENTER KEYBEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE NEXT QSO", or may
be an audible message that says the same thing, but then that would
interfere with hearing the next station...
