The problem of clipping is most likely because your call comes too
quickly for the other station - or it is difficult to pick out of
the "noise" at the start of the line of data.
If you will start all your macros with CR/LF (ASCII 10/13) - or
LETTERS/LETTERS/CR and end them with two spaces, the call/exchange
will show up on a new line and there will be a space or two before
any garble at the end of the line making it easy for the other station
to see (and click if necessary) on the correct data.
Remember, if the other station is running an amplifier, he probably
will not return to to receive as quickly as you can jump on the
transmit key ... allow a couple "sacrificial characters" at the
start of an exchange. I still like to start with the other station's
call and end with mine when *calling or answering* stations in S&P and
use the other station's call beginning and end when sending an exchange
while running.

Hi just about every time during an exchange in a contest the prefix of my
call sign is clipped or corrupted, but if my call ( I wish everyone would) is
put at the end of the exchange its ok. I also noticed during the wae contest if
I requested a repeat of a qtc the first one was garbage the second was ok. I
think there must be an error in my basic setup, hope someone can put me
straight. I am using MMTTY with N1MM.
