[CQ-Contest] N1MM+, K3 Sidetone Macro

[K9MA]

That works! (Thanks, Rich, Larry, and Michael.)

Even when aborting the CQ with the ESC key, the sidetone comes back.

I don't know about others, but I find listening to that CQ 10 times 
between QSO's to be so tedious I'm inclined to go off and do something 
else, or even to S&P at an even lower rate sorting through the dupes. 
This will help.

73,
