I think I'm with W7WHY on his comments. I HAVE actually seen a Zip
Code in a brag file!!
My friend Ed, KC9GWK had this conversation this past weekend. I had
told him that my macros were set for the NAQP. He fired back with,
"Aren't YOU the one that said that real men don't use MACROS?!" I
told him that I DO use macros...but for contest exchanges. They HAVE
gotten out of hand...especially the ones like so:
Good Morning, dear OM (name) (call) , in (QTH). Name here is xxx,
[NEXT MACRO]
QTH is xxx.xxx.xxx. Grid Square, County
AD NAUSEUM.
I enjoy digital modes as much if not more than the next guy. But, if
I wanted a machine QSO, I'd fire up my old Commodore VIC-20 and pop in
the computer chat program...
My 2 cents.
