Hi Jerry,
If you TYPE in the call in the field, the Enter key will work fine, just
like in CW and SSB contests. But you can CLICK on a call in RTTY and that
causes the whole operation to be as you describe. The dilemma: type lots
more letters to use the Enter key or click once and use the Insert key.
Choices, choices, choices...
Hope you had fun in the contest.
CU...Scot, K9JY
