Jim,
Yes I do that as well. I didn't mention it because I was focused on the
CR/LF subject. I also put a space before the first letter of each macro.

But please remember to put the space between the last letter of the

Joe,
I agree 100 percent. My macros have CR/LF at the beginning but not at
the end. The other station doesn't have to chase anything, since my
macro stays on one line.

CR/LF is fine for the *beginning* of a macro as it does not move
your call down the screen. It *ending* a macro with CR/LF that
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.

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.

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.

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.
