| If I'm running, I would prefer that the auto-CQ stop when I click on a

before)

| it with ESC and then send the exchange.  Any better way to handle this?  I

I like the way ALT-T works for CW. I don't do RTTY contesting, but if it
doesn't stop the auto-CQ when you click on a call (which I'm guessing copies
the call into the entry window), then I would consider that a bug. As far as
I know, the intention is that as soon as characters appear in the entry
window, the CQ should stop. I believe a fix was recently made to make sure
that happens in other modes.
