On occasion, this might make sense. The trouble is that
I will have already typed in "N6RK" by the time I have figured out
that he is sending my call. Is there any easy way to fix
this in N1MM other than clicking "wipe" with the mouse? By
the time I have done that, I have missed his call and have
to QRZ. My operating skills are merely adequate, not great.
Any interruption of the routine is bad.
