Before I started using auto qsl interval I used to just hit Esc once the
TU had been sent, thus aborting the sending of the rest of the stuff.
However, I found that I wasn't very consistent with this and sometimes
went 5 or 6 Qs with no ID. So I like the automated approach for its
consistency.

One thing I tried in an attempt to turn Qs around a little faster in

If you are not hung on using the auto qsl interval you can
do this several ways - one is to use the QUCIK QSL KEY and put
your short non callsing TU in it and then use that to log and
end QSOs when things are busy and use the ENTER key with the longer
QSL message with your callsign in it to log and end the QSO.
For those that do not like the idea of using two diffrent keys
to log and end QSOs you can do a similar thing by using a method
that N6TJ uses.
Program the normal QSL message to be TU - this is sent with the enter key
at the end of a QSO.
Program your F1 CQ message to be your CALLSIGN.
So when you are running and guys are calling you are sending
TU at the end of each QSO - if you want to drop your callsign in
just hit enter twice and after logging the QSO and sending TU
a CQ message will be launched that is just your call so it will
send TR N6TR on the air.
