[CQ-Contest] PSE COPY

[Michael Walker]

This is the default N1MM exchange in S&P

F2 Exch,{TX}{ENTER}! {EXCH} {EXCH} {MYCALL} {RX}

And, I think it is correct.  I  might have copied your call only once and I
am not going to wait around in S&P mode for a few of your cycles of you are
run especially since many only send QRZ and not their call.  It isn't as
bad as it used to be, but 1 in 10 stations do not send their call with
their QRZ message evertime.  There is only a finite number of contacts that
can be made.  :)  6 more seconds won't make any difference, except for Mike
ve9aa who is reading his email at the same time.  (his words, not mine).

It makes sense from both sides.
