[RTTY] J'Accuse - RTTY RU

[Jim Johnson]

I like using the buttons in the log entry window...  Respectively I enter the 
following in these buttons: 
Call:  %d de KC4HW KCH4W %R%R
Rcv:  %D 599 FL KC4HW %E%R
QTH: %D TU DE KC4HW QRZ %E%R
Country: CQ TEST DE KC4HW KK %E%R
C: %D AGN AGN DE KC4HW KK %E%R

I like including my callsign in all exchanges, that give the station being 
worked a couple of additional shots at getting my callsign correct, plus 
give someone there waiting the opportunity to get it correct.  

I am a mouse clicker rather than a button pusher... Although I use a 
homebrew template on the keyboard and fill the F-keys just in case I 
suffer temporary loss of memory.
