In response to comments by W4UK and W6WRT, regarding contest exchanges - -
Using Writelog, I do almost the same as W4UK, building several short macros
together, as needed.
I send the report 599 NNN NNN NNN most of the time when S&P, except for ver
y strong stations, and when I am running (rarely) I usually send the NNN
only twice. I found I had virtually no requests for repeats, even with
very weak stations, such as JA's from my East Coast location.
I have found that, using two decoders, receiving the report sent twice (599
NNN NNN) often produces two or even three different numbers, requiring a
request for repeat. Wasted time !!
When a weak station only sends 599 NNN, you almost have to ask for a repeat
to ensure your og entry is correct, as many times it is not !
Just my two cents worth --
