Scott has it exactly right. Newcomers, please note!!
The practice of placing an ENTER at the end of a macro goes back to
the earliest days of RTTY contesting and continues on. It is
counterproductive for modern RTTY contesting software.
At the end of a macro:
Space = good.
ENTER = bad.
CR = bad.
LF = bad.
