I dunno about "recommended", but here's what I am using.
For my F-keys setup (below), I have two X-Keys external macro button strips
mounted at a 45 degree angle at the top of a mini keyboard...and these
buttons (color coded) activate the F-keys in WL. Some of the F-keys
assignments are for Generic, NS, Sprint or other-uses so disregard those.
Regular F2 %C? Not normally used...I'll
respond to a partial call
Regular F3 <tu>%O k6vva <tu> [Also auto re-zero's the RIT -
IMPORTANT!!!]
Regular F4 k6vva
Regular F5 rick <ca> For complete exchange repeats
Regular F6 rick For Name only repeat
Regular F7 <ca> For QTH only repeat
Regular F8 k6vva <na>
Regular F9 rick <ca> [Duplication to my Sprint
key next to the Run key]
Regular F10 %C rick <ca>
Regular F1&F11 cq k6vva <na>
Shifted F2 [Other Contest Use]
Shifted F3 <niq> For NCCC "NS" (Non
Intervening QSO)
Shifted F4 <cl?>
Shifted F5 <agn?>
Shifted F6 <name?>
Shifted F7 <qth>?
Shifted F8 <qrl>? I try to use this BEFORE
"CQing" on a new freq.
Shift F9 <<kb>> NCCC Motto/Slogan
Shift F10 <<ee>> "Dit Dit"
Shift F1&F11 <<?>> "Dit Dit Dah Dah Dit Dit"
For CQ/Run Mode, Regular F10 sends call & exchange, then grabs F3 when the
enter button is pushed the 2nd time & logs the QSO.
For S&P Mode, Regular F9 is used ... just like in NS/Sprint, then a CTRL +
ENTER to log the QSO.
Hope this helps.
73 & "Good luck in the contest, OM!"

P.S. Obviously, part of the challenge is to push the correct
button(s)...and I still have some de-QLFing to do :-)
