Many 1 by 2 calls and K calls ended their macro transmissions with  the 
letter K.  A few ended with a carriage return.  I found that the  carriage 
return separated the macro's content cleanly while the "K" often did  not.  
Others had there macros set to end with the final message, often a  number or 
call.  Then the noise got hold of the received line and often  confused the 
receiver as to is the number complete and/or the call was  right.
 
For purposes of a thread, I find the use of carriage returns at the  
termination of a macro to save a lot of repeats; not to mention busted  calls.
 
Those ending a macro with their 1 by 2 calls should at least  introduce a 
space before terminating the transmission.
