Start your macros with <CR><LF> .... that will make sure you don't get
picked up with the trailing CW or TEST from the previous station.

The primary trick is to leave trailing whitespace at the end of the
over.   I used "TEST N1EN N1EN CQ " («note the space) and "TU N1EN CQ
" («again, the space) and had almost no problems getting picked up.

I did get spotted multiple times while S&Ping, but I think that was a
function of being fast on the draw, so that the skimmers could likely
have seen " CQ KA0XTT KA0XTT CQ N1EN N1EN N1EN "   A few times, the
S&P spots even came through tagged as "skimqsy" or "skimvalid" in the
CT1BOH logic.

I apparently need to learn patience.  :)

I do think that the smaller number of RTTY skimmers online, and the
challenges of decoding RTTY vs. CW probably contribute to the reduced
likelihood of getting spotted by a RTTY skimmer versus a CW skimmer,
especially on 80.
