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.
