If that is a problem, use one of the contest loggers that does not
scroll ... either WriteLog or N1MM Logger Plus. A Non-scrolling
display has been standard with Writelog from the beginning and it
is an option in the new N1MM Logger Plus.
I would still rather someone call me with CR/LF so their call is at
the start of the bottom line of the display and not buried in the garble
at the end of the screen and potentially off screen if the
display does not wrap automatically. If the screen *does* wrap
automatically, it will cause the display to scroll *anyway.*
Always start your macros with CR/LF and end them with a space.

If you are chasing a callsign thats above your crlf it does make you chase.
I saw enough of those this weekend I decided it was just a bad idea!

causes chasing the call up the screen.
On a proper scrolling display, CR/LF at the beginning of the macro
will put your call at the left edge of the bottom line of the RX
window ... generally right under the mouse cursor unless the user
is making some rather gross mouse movements ... and where the user
does not need to search for it in the garble at the end of the line.

The CRLF is very frustrating for those trying to click on the callsign and
having to chase it around the window. Please do not use!

Starting your call macros with a couple of spaces does as well as
<CR><LF>
and has he added benefit of not causing the text to scroll down the
screen
if you press your callsign button several times. All macros should start
with something other than a printable character as many times they get
tagged onto garbage characters and do not get decoded as intended.
Sending
your callsign twice with no leading and ending non printing characters
will
result in no callsign being decoded without extra characters. This slows
things down as the receiving op has to manually enter your call with the
keyboard.

Subject: Re: [RTTY] Getting spotted by RTTY skimmers
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 "
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.

There are notes in the second section of

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.

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.
