Scott has it exactly right. Newcomers, please note!!

The practice of placing an ENTER at the end of a macro goes back to 
the earliest days of RTTY contesting and continues on. It is 
counterproductive for modern RTTY contesting software.

At the end of a macro:

Space = good.
ENTER = bad.
CR = bad.
LF = bad.
