What I do, I use NAME in a special macro to be used ONLY with specific
station, not all and I use it only when I am in RUN/CQ mode.

I am a little confused....
Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that there was a rather spirited discussion
about paring down our contest macros to the absolute barest minimum
information by omitting unnecessary superfluous data? It seemed that there
were some here who would have a major meltdown whenever they saw someone
send their state or section three times instead of just two or repeating the
signal report when they were asked AGN? by the other station?
I used the friend.ini back when WF1B was "the" RTTY contest software and I
am sure that is where this file has its origins but I stopped using it long
ago because so many people were so absolutely outraged that I was sending
much more than was needed for the exchange.
I guess what I am saying is that some of us may be unnecessarily agonizing
over shaving milliseconds off of our macros when it really does not make
that much of a difference. Who knows... maybe after 20 years, I will put the
friend.ini macros back into my exchanges!
