[RTTY] More on Dupes

[Dave W7DPW]

I agree with Bill about the "MY CALL IS"  macro.

I have been using that macro for a couple of years now and it really
helps.

As Bill states, " helps grab the other station's attention much better"
.....

Before I had that macro, my call was busted a number of times and I
could not get it corrected,

but after using  that macro, it seemed like magic and my call got
corrected immediately.
