Ed and I both use the two-PC method and therefore only have to use one buffer
on each PC for this message - one has %ZA1, the other
%ZA2.
Bob, the real reason I'm replying, and maybe others can be helped by this
advice, is that I believe it's better not to put "TU"
before putting "ALSO %ZA1" in the message for one reason. When I'm S&P and I
see "TU", I'm immediately off the frequency looking
for the next contact. I don't wait around to see the rest of the message. I
S&P as fast as I can possibly do it. Maybe others
aren't so fast to move away, but once I know the contact is confirmed, I'm out
of there. Instead I use:
%R QRV %ZA1 TU DE AA5AU CQ %E
OR
%R PSE %ZA1 (or %ZA2) TU DE AA5AU CQ %E
In NAQP, it may be proper just to put:
%R %ZA1 (or %ZA2) TU DE AA5AU CQ %E
Most folks already know what you are trying to do. The %Z is SO COOL. I just
love it. It worked well for me in last weekend's
RTTY test. I had lots of people move, especially when ten meters was open.
Got quite a few to move from 40 to 80 as well.

For NAQP RTTY, I have two function keys set up for:
%R TU ALSO %ZA2 W0BR NA %O%L%E
%R TU ALSO %ZA1 W0BR NA %O%L%E
What I would rather have is ONE function key set up for:
%R TU ALSO %ZA("other" radio) W0BR NA %O%L%E
Is there a way to do this or should we ask Wayne to put it on the wish list?
73,
Bob
